  • Scope for direct work with children and young people.

  • An office base in Kent or London or the option to work from home.

We are looking for an experienced HCPC registered psychologist who:

  • Has excellent interpersonal skills and is highly emotionally literate.
  • Is confident, skilled and enthusiastic about designing and delivering training.
  • Is skilled and experienced in facilitating group interventions.
