Essential Criteria: 

• HCPC-registered Educational Psychologist. 
• Experience working with children and young people with SEMH needs. 
• Strong understanding of trauma-informed practice and neurodiversity. 
• Excellent communication, assessment, and report-writing skills. 
• Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary setting. 

Desirable: 

• Experience working in or with specialist SEMH settings. 
• Training in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, Play Therapy, or EMDR.
