This role is based within our Yorkshire region, covering an Integrated Learning Centre in Bradford, as well as schools in Rotherham and Wakefield.

Embedded within our living and learning environments, you will be offered the support, resource, and platform to do great things. You’ll benefit from regular supervision, a clinical development programme, and access to a 220+ strong team of multi-disciplinary clinical colleagues.
