Job description

Psychology Graduate Learning Support Assistant role in Lewisham - LSA role for an Aspiring Psychologists -Education and Training - Psychology Graduate Learning Support Assistant role in Lewisham.

Before starting an LSA role like this, it is important you know your objectives and knowing why you want to work with, understanding and trying to rehabilitate students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health issues. Positive reinforcement is incredibly important here, it's understanding the tragic contexts and traumas that the students have had to go through. Sometimes getting to school will be an achievement.

All of the boys in this specialist SEMH School have an EHCP for their behaviour and will have been excluded from their mainstream education. If you are an aspiring Clinical, Educational or forensic Psychologist, for example, this LSA role will develop your understanding of mental health and the contexts that many of these students endure each day.

Your days will by, it is unlikely that one day will ever be the same! You will meet students with a lot of charisma; they will keep you sharp and on your toes. It is important to realise many of these boys have been let down by the adults in their lifer, tragically. When Restorative Practice is implemented, it is a shift from the punitive and an opportunity for learning.

In this school, the opportunity for collaboration is there - how do young people become part of the process? It is about creating independence for the student.
