In response to the rise in Graduate unemployment and the continuing weakness in the
domestic graduate job market, we have developed a Graduate TEFL Programme. TEFL is the acronym for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and there is a tremendous global demand for trained TEFL teachers.
Where are you now?I am an Assistant Psychologist working in the NHS. I am based within an acute inpatient mental health service and work alongside Clinical Psychologists, Family Therapists, Art Therapists and many others. My clinical roles include helping to assess inpatients on many psychological scales, scoring their responses, inferring them and writing reports. I also help run therapeutic groups alongside a Clinical Psychologist and am responsible for creating accessible information on these therapies for staff and service users. My role as an Assistant Psychologist is also heavily research based. I am currently involved in five different research projects, some of which are in association with the University of Leeds and The University of Sheffield. They incorporate the topics of: cultural competency of NHS staff; the merging of acute mental health services in the community and in hospitals; improving access to psychological therapies (x2); measuring outcomes in depression.
I decided that I definitely wanted to go into professional psychology towards the end of my second year of study at Loughborough. I therefore went to the Careers and Employability Centre who advised me about the different career paths, where to get information on these, and where to get the all-important experience. I joined two weekly Action projects in my third year of study, one at a local Mencap home and one at a local school for children with severe learning difficulties. I also have paid work experience as a swimming teacher, lifeguard, library assistant, call centre worker and Sure Start worker that count towards relevant experience. I applied for the role of a CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) based Assistant Psychologist during my final term at university (along with what seemed like 5000 other jobs). I was very lucky to get an interview for this post but lacked sufficient CBT experience to be successful. A few months later I was approached by the same employer for my current, more research based, Assistant Psychologist post which they felt I was more suited to. I had a second interview and was successful.
Action is a great way to gain experience in your chosen area whilst at University. I really struggled to get any work experience placements during the holidays so make the most of how accessible these opportunities are. Also, I believe time management is extremely important. Make sure you prioritise your academic work suitably, have time to gain experience but don’t forget your social life!

We all know consultants exist but what do they actually do? Work in consulting involves providing external advice to organisations that require specialist expertise or an objective outside perspective on their business. Consulting is the identification and assessment of a problem or analysis of a specific area of an organisation, the reporting of findings and the formulations of recommendations for improvement.
Consultants are commonly called in for business improvement, change of management, information technology and long-term planning projects.
The work
Consultancy can offer the choice of varied assignments, the ability to choose interesting work and the flexibility (within limits) of deciding when and where to work. The range of a consultants work can be broad and they can either focus on one particular area of work or cover multiple.
