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 Bescot Hall School. We will also consider applications for anyone looking for a part-time role.

Bescot Hall is a purpose-built, state-of-the-art school catering primarily for children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health needs, as well as providing for children with autism who have moderate speech and learning needs. The school educates up to 72 children aged 8 to 16.

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, both in expertise and breadth of provision. Our young people present with complex needs including developmental trauma, neurodevelopmental 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. Based on clinical assessments and formulations, you will offer individualized interventions and engagement to our young people.
