Are you a Psychology or Humanities graduate with your sights set on clinical psychology training
? Do you want to move beyond textbooks and into the clinical reality of complex human distress?

This is not a standard teaching assistant role. This is a pre-clinical placement
—an opportunity to work with students with Profound Multiple Difficulties (PMD) , where neurodevelopmental, psychological, and social factors converge. We are looking for graduates who can formulate
, not just observe; who understand that behaviour is a symptom
, not the presenting problem.

, often presenting with:

• Profound & Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD) with co-occurring SEMH
• Complex Developmental Trauma and disorganised attachment (consistent with C-PTSD)
