Those Huge Small Victories

Our clinicians are fulfilled by the idea of affecting even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things.

Get out what you put in

This role is based at Bridgeway School. We will also accept full-time applications; however, the role would be split across Bridgeway School and Westmorland School. You will be part of an established MDT team supporting young people with autism.

From day one, Bridgeway School has been built on a principle of simply ‘being there’ for its pupils. This means that every pupil’s needs and ambitions were considered in the school's physical environment, ethos, and vision. The result is a truly tailored learning environment, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, with experienced staff committed to providing outstanding education and support.

Our clinicians are a crucial part of the most joined-up model in SEND. Across all our specialist schools and children’s homes, we provide unrivalled levels of clinical support, expertise, and breadth of provision. Our young people present with complex needs including developmental trauma, neuro-developmental conditions, and special educational needs.

As part of a multi-disciplinary clinical team, you will support educational and residential colleagues to create therapeutic living and learning environments and, based on clinical assessment and formulation, offer individualized interventions and engagement to our young people.

Our Psychologists work collaboratively within our schools and children’s homes, ensuring therapeutic support permeates every aspect of education, care, and support. You will provide consultation, workshops, training, and guidance to the educational and residential teams around our children.

What we do for you

We recognize your potential to do great things. In return for your hard work and commitment, we offer the best salary and benefits package in the sector. You’ll have the opportunity to make a genuine difference in our young people's lives, plus:
