Job description

How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four*?

Our colleagues’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we’re always looking for new ways to improve everyone’s work/life balance. We’re taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could be working one day less a week (or equivalent).

If the trial is a success, we’ll be rolling the 4DWW out across the Group – so there’s never been a more exciting time to join #teamOFG!

Are you an Educational Psychologist excited to work during times of transformative change? Are you experienced, or have a keen interest, in working with the challenges associated with neurodiversity (Autism, ADHD), complex and developmental trauma, and complex needs? Do you want to help create a nationally important resource with the substantial backing of one of the leading providers of education for young people with SEN?

If so, we have the role for you! We are growing our Clinical Teams and are looking for Educational Psychologists throughout the UK to work within our SEN Schools.

You will be a part of a multi-disciplinary well-being and therapeutic team who provide essential services to meet the needs of the people we care for.

We have a number of vacancies throughout the UK, and new opportunities arising in the coming months. You can view all of our current vacancies at:

• Post-graduate doctoral level qualification in Psychology (clinical, counselling, forensic).
• Registered with the HCPC and BPS.
• Experience in supervising Assistant Psychologists.
• Experience of working with people who have an intellectual disability and/or autism with additional needs (e.g., complex trauma, mental health needs, behaviors of concern).
• Ability to work collaboratively with a range of key partners.
• Able to work sensitively with people and resolve conflict effectively.
• Evidence of continuing professional development relevant to the setting.
• Substantial and relevant post-qualification experience with adults and/or children.
• Full valid UK driving licence and access to a car.
• Skills in data management, including collecting and analyzing data to inform service delivery, development, and project work.
