You must hold a first or upper second class honours degree in Psychology or an equivalent qualification, which is recognised by the British Psychological Society as conferring eligibility for their Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC). Note: All applicants, particularly those whose first degree was taken outside the UK, should check with the BPS that their degree meets the standards for GBC. The BPS can be contacted on tel. (+44) (0)116 254 9568, fax +44 (0)116 227 1314, email enquiry@bps.org.uk
A variety of previous relevant experience working with children, families, schools or other education or welfare agencies is also required. Examples of relevant experience would include work as a teacher in schools or further education, or as a teaching assistant, social work assistant, residential child care officer, community education worker, youth club worker, literacy tutor, assistant psychologist (clinical or educational), research assistant (in some cases), and so on. A balanced portfolio of different kinds of relevant experience, perhaps with different age groups and in different settings, is advantageous. Relevant paid and voluntary, part-time and full-time work can be taken into account, but successful candidates must have at least the equivalent of two years' full-time experience in total on entry.
Competence in the English language is essential. Applicants for whom English is not the first language must be able to evidence such competence, at a minimum of IELTS 8.5 or equivalent.
