Those Huge Small Victories
Our clinicians are fulfilled by the idea of affecting even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things.
Get out what you put in
This role is based at Cheshire Hall School.
Opening in April 2025, Cheshire Hall School is a purpose-built, brand new, state-of-the-art school. It provides education for up to 120 pupils aged 5-19, catering to children with diverse needs including autism and social, emotional, and mental health needs. This exciting opportunity serves Sandbach and the wider communities, with you at the heart of its development. Our goal is to ensure every pupil has an outstanding educational experience, with individual progress and care at the core of our offerings.
Our clinicians are a crucial part of the most integrated model in SEND. Across all our specialist schools and children’s homes, we offer unrivalled clinical support in terms of expertise and breadth of provision.

As part of a multidisciplinary clinical team, you will support educational and residential colleagues to create therapeutic living and learning environments. Based on clinical assessments and formulations, you will provide individualised interventions and engagement for our young people.
Our psychologists work collaboratively within our schools and children’s homes, ensuring therapeutic support permeates every aspect of education, care, and support we provide. You will offer consultation, workshops, training, and guidance to the educational and residential teams around our children.
