Teaching Personnel have an exciting opportunity to work with a Specialist academic and therapeutic provision in Cranborne, for young people aged 11-16 with additional social, emotional and mental health needs.
The main purpose of the role:
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.
Successful candidate qualities:
Experience working with young people with autism and ages 11-16
Doctorate-level clinical qualification in Psychology.
