Salary: £47,736.00 - £65,270.40 actual salary dependant on qualifications and experience
Contract Type: Permanent
Shift Pattern: 40 hours per week - Term Time only
Job Summary:
* The school believes in giving young people the tools and opportunities to create the lives they want for themselves. With high-quality teaching, an excellent level of individual support and a range of expert-led, integrated therapy, the school support students with a range of additional learning needs to create and meet their own goals.
* With an established MDT on site, including Psychology, Psychiatry, Occupational Therapy and Speech and Language Therapy and dedicated therapy spaces, the school offers the opportunity for professional development, multidisciplinary and multi-agency working as well as to be part of an innovative service that values new ideas and strives to excel in clinical practice.
* As a Clinical Psychologist, you'll play a key role in shaping the futures of young people by using evidence-based psychological approaches to support their emotional, cognitive, and behavioural development. Your work will directly contribute to preparing them for adulthood and independent living, empowering them to lead fulfilling lives.
* You will be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team (MDT) and will act as both a clinician and a mentor, supporting young people directly through tailored assessments and interventions, while also guiding non-clinical staff to respond to challenging behaviours and communication needs in ways that promote independence rather than reliance.
* Your responsibilities will include conducting psychological assessments using structured interviews and psychometric tools, designing, and delivering both group and individual therapeutic interventions, and contributing to the development of staff training programmes. You'll also work closely with external professionals, supervise Assistant Psychologists, and have the opportunity to innovate and make a lasting impact in a dynamic and supportive environment.
* This really is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference, using your skills to help shape brighter, more independent futures for young people, and playing a key role in supporting their journey into adulthood.
