The role
Involves communicating with families/ carers and specialist agencies. You’ll work alongside the clinical teams’ Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Psychotherapists, Psychologists, Assistant Psychologists, and Therapies Assistants.

You will be involved in a variety of work, delivering and supporting children and young people at universal, targeted, and specialist service levels, to meet their EHCP identified needs, and emerging needs.
We strive for excellence in caring for our pupils, which is why we are the leading service provider in the UK. We are looking for an Educational Psychologist who shares our vision: to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable people in the UK to be happy and to succeed.
