Location:

Preston | Full-time | £14.30 per hour (may increase depending on experience) | Start: ASAP/September

Are you a recent graduate looking to build experience in education, psychology, or mental health? Axcis Education is working in partnership with a number of mainstream primary schools in Preston and Leyland, and we're looking for a full-time and part-time Graduate Mental Health Support Worker's to start ASAP/September. This role is all about supporting primary-aged pupils that require 1-1 support with their learning.

Some of these pupils will have special educational needs such as autism, ADHD and challenging behaviour. You'll be working closely with individual students in the classroom - helping them stay engaged, encouraging their confidence, and offering calm, consistent support throughout the day. You don't need school experience. What we're looking for is someone who's empathetic, reliable, and genuinely wants to support vulnerable young people.

If you're kind, patient and keen to make a difference, we'll give you the training and guidance you need.

• No unsociable hours - work Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 3:30pm
• Get paid weekly - Starting from £14.30 an hour (£93+ a day)
• Looks great on your CV - ideal if you're considering teacher training, educational psychology or youth work
• Free access to a wide range of training through the Axcis Academy
• Real, hands-on experience supporting students with additional needs

These roles start ASAP and can run full or part-time during term time, with the opportunity to become permanent after an initial settling-in period.

If you're a graduate ready to take your first step into education, mental health or support work—and you want a job where you can make a genuine difference,we'd love to hear from you.

Graduates from Psychology, Drama, Policing and Sociology are encouraged to apply.
