Get out what you put in
This role is based at Avon Park School. Full and part-time applications considered.
The transformational effect of Avon Park School is consistently witnessed by parents, carers, and professionals alike. The school’s ability to connect and engage with pupils is a result of its strong ethos of “high expectations and aspirations for every child” – and recently achieved an Outstanding rating by Ofsted.
Our clinicians are a crucial part of the most joined-up model in SEND. Across all of our specialist schools and children’s homes, we provide unrivalled levels of clinical support, both in terms of expertise and breadth of provision. Our young people present with a complexity of needs including developmental trauma, neuro-developmental conditions, and special educational needs.
As part of a multi-disciplinary clinical team, you will support educational and residential colleagues to provide therapeutic living and learning environments, and, based on clinical assessment and formulation, offer individualized interventions and engagement to our young people. You’ll also assess our young people’s mental health and recommend appropriate interventions in a personalized care plan. Building rapport is key; by doing this, you’ll be able to deliver effective counseling and feedback on progress.
