At Cognivate, we believe the \"right person\" is more important than a specific office location. We are looking for an experienced Neuropsychologist to join our core interdisciplinary team. While we are strategically expanding our reach across the Midlands, we care most about finding a clinician who is passionate about delivering life-changing, community-based neurorehabilitation. Therefore, you do not need to be based in Birmingham, but could be anywhere around Birmingham, Cambridge, Peterborough of Nottingham.
The Role
As a core team Neuropsychologist, you will play a key clinical role in delivering high-quality neuropsychological rehabilitation within our Midlands service. You will work closely with our Clinical Director, Dr Anita Rose, and alongside colleagues across occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and speech & language therapy to provide integrated, goal-focused rehabilitation for adults with acquired brain injury (ABI).
This role is primarily clinical, with a strong emphasis on direct client work and interdisciplinary collaboration, rather than service leadership or supervision of others.
What You’ll Do
Clinical Practice:
Deliver specialist neuropsychological assessments and interventions, with a focus on cognitive, emotional, and behavioural rehabilitation in real-world contexts (home, work, and community).
Interdisciplinary Working:
Contribute actively to interdisciplinary team working, including joint goal-setting, shared formulation, and collaborative rehabilitation planning with OT, PT, and SLT colleagues.
Client-Centred Rehabilitation:
Apply evidence-based approaches to support clients to regain independence, confidence, and participation in meaningful activities.
Specialist Intervention:
Utilise trauma-informed approaches and vocational rehabilitation strategies, where appropriate, to support clients in returning to work, education, and valued life roles.
Who You Are
Qualified: HCPC Registered Practitioner Psychologist with a post-graduate qualification in Neuropsychology (QiCN or equivalent).
Experienced: You have at least 4 years of experience in ABI and a heart for community-based, interdisciplinary work.
Local-ish: Ideally based in or around the Midlands, with a willingness to travel within the region to meet our clients where they are.
Why Cognivate?
Salary: competitive depending on experience (£50-70k FTE).
Flexibility: minimum 0.4fte.
Growth: 35 days annual leave (pro rata) and dedicated supervision from the Clinical Director. All travel to and from clients fully paid. Access to our internal and external CPD networks.
Culture: We are a team that values autonomy, clinical integrity, and the drive to innovate in the field of brain injury.
