We welcome applications from experienced clinicians as well as newly qualified (or soon to be qualified) psychologists.

In each role you will be working alongside a Principal Psychologist and other applied psychologists and psychological professionals, with support from a Consultant Clinical Psychologist. A robust leadership and supervision structure is in place, alongside operational management.
