Oversands School is an independent specialist day school in Grange-over-Sands, providing high-quality education for pupils with diverse complex needs, including social, emotional, and behavioral challenges.

Our clinicians are vital in our integrated SEND model, providing clinical support across our schools and children’s homes. Our young people present with complex needs such as developmental trauma, neurodevelopmental conditions, and SEN.

As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will support educational and residential staff to create therapeutic environments, providing individual interventions based on clinical assessments and formulations.

Psychologists collaborate across settings to ensure therapeutic support permeates all aspects of our care and education. You will also offer consultation, workshops, training, and guidance to staff.

Training: Full induction and ongoing training

Holiday: 35 days including bank holidays

Clinical Development: Leading professional development programs

Wellbeing: Access to wellbeing tools and employee assistance

Medical cover: Reimbursements for opticians, dentists, and discounts

Facilities: Modern, well-equipped working environments

A referral scheme offers a £2,000 bonus per successful hire.

• Be a qualified HCPC-registered Clinical, Educational, Forensic, or Counselling Psychologist
• Have proven skills in assessing, formulating, and supporting therapeutic interventions for children with complex needs
• Support team efforts to create supportive living and learning environments
• Be confident, engaging, and capable of leading and training others
• Be highly organized, proactive, and committed to positive outcomes for young people
