Aurora Linemere is opening its doors in January 2027, and we're looking for an experienced Clinical Psychologist to help make this vision a reality. This is a rare opportunity to be part of something truly transformative.
Aurora Linemere will be a nurturing, inclusive and ambitious school for children and young people aged 5-19 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. With a capacity of 96 students, our vision is to create a safe, enriching and aspirational environment where every learner can thrive.
Your Role as a Clinical Psychologist
As our Clinical Psychologist, you'll play a central role in shaping the emotional and behavioural development of our students. You'll work closely with young people to assess their psychological needs and deliver tailored interventions that support their growth and independence. Collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team, you'll help embed Positive Behaviour Support strategies across the school, ensuring every child receives consistent, compassionate care.
You'll also provide expert guidance and training to staff and families, empowering them to better understand and respond to the needs of the children in their care. Whether leading group sessions or offering one-to-one support, your work will be instrumental in helping our students thrive, both in school and beyond.
