  • Support the school in meeting EHCP requirements and contribute to annual reviews and multi-agency meetings. 

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. 
  • Knowledge of attachment theory and its application in schools. 

What We Offer: 

  • A supportive and committed leadership team. 
  • Opportunities for ongoing CPD and supervision. 
  • A strong and collaborative multi-agency environment. 
  • Wellbeing support and access to clinical supervision.
