Psychology, Criminology & Sociology Graduates - Support Roles in Newcastle Schools

Are you a Psychology, Criminology, or Sociology graduate looking to make a real difference in young people's lives? Newcastle schools are seeking Mental Health Support Workers, Learning Support Assistants, and Pastoral Support Assistants to join their teams.

Why your background is a perfect fit

Your studies have given you an understanding of behaviour, motivation, and wellbeing-skills schools urgently need. Whether it's supporting pupils with additional needs, helping young people regulate emotions, or being a steady pastoral presence, your insight into human behaviour means you can connect with students in ways that really count.

Content you already have

Schools value graduates like you because:

You understand mental health and behaviour beyond the surface.
You can bring a calm, empathetic approach to challenging situations.
You're skilled at building trust and positive relationships.
You're motivated to see young people thrive, not just academically but personally.

About the roles

Monday to Friday, term-time only - work that fits around school schedules.
Roles include 1:1 support, small-group interventions, and whole-class assistance.
Opportunities to support pupils with SEND, SEMH, behaviour needs, and pastoral care.

What's in it for you?

Working in schools is more than a job-it's a chance to shape futures while building your own career path. Many of our graduates go on to teaching, social work, counselling, or educational psychology. You'll gain:

Hands-on experience in education and child development.
Transferable skills in communication, behaviour management, and safeguarding.
The reward of seeing pupils gain confidence and resilience with your support.
