This role is based at The Eaves Learning Centre. We will also consider term-time for anyone looking for this option.

Located in the rural community of Westbury, The Eaves is a tranquil setting that offers young people an environment to live, learn and grow. This beautiful site brings together education, care and therapeutic support for our young people, providing the perfect backdrop to release their full potential. We support young people with ADHD, autism, and SEMH and have recently been rated Good by Ofsted.

Our clinicians are a crucial part of the most joined-up model in SEND. Across all of our specialist schools and children’s homes, we provide unrivalled levels of clinical support, both in terms of our expertise and breadth of provision. Our young people present with a complexity of need 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 provide therapeutic living and learning environments and, based on clinical assessment and formulation, offer individualised interventions and engagement to our young people. You’ll also be assessing our young people’s mental health and recommending appropriate interventions in a personalised care plan. Building rapport is key; by doing this, you’ll be able to deliver effective counselling and feedback on progress.

Bring your whole self to work

This is a great opportunity to change young lives and positively impact their future. Embedded within our living and learning environments, you will be supported with resources and a platform to do great things.
