Job description

Kickstart a rewarding career as an SEN Learning Support Assistant in a warm, inclusive specialist setting based in Kempston. This is a brilliant opportunity for anyone passionate about supporting young people with additional needs - whether you're an aspiring psychologist, ...

• Qualified Educational Psychologist
• HCPC registration
• A commitment to inclusive, evidence-based practice
• The ability to work independently and collaboratively
• The majority of your work will involve carrying out EHCP assessments commissioned by local authorities, therefore it is important that you enjoy this aspect of the EP role. Statutory work done differently - we have a national, EHCP crisis with significant backlogs of CYP waiting for educational psychology advice. Every month that they wait is another month of education lost. These are not CYP who can afford to miss out - they are the most vulnerable in society who deserve access to education and opportunities.

At CF Psychology we believe passionately that educational psychologists should be rolling up their sleeves to help overcome this crisis. To this end, we have developed an innovative, statutory assessment model, which is highly impactful and time efficient. We are a commissioned service which passes on the financial benefits of our model to LAs and schools through ethical pricing. Our model involves working as part of a specialist team and using our in-house, proprietary, practice support platform, which was highly commended by the BPS. This structure completely removes the administrative burden associated with this type of work. You will have the freedom to focus fully on high-quality formulation, conversations that create change and impactful recommendations which unlock support. We are an equal opportunities employer with a diverse workforce. We welcome applications from every background.

• Full time salary between 58-68k per annum depending on experience
• Private medical insurance for you and your dependants
• Flexible working and part time options, with autonomy to shape your weekly schedule
