Most of the team works 8:30am-4:30pm and the minimum requirement would be for you to be available in school for 4 days p/week during term times., We asked the children and young people we support here why the Clinical Psychologist role is so important to them and here's what they said:
"My therapist at school is really nice and kind and makes me feel happy. We all have a therapist who we see once a week. My therapist talks to me about my emotion's, and they understand me. I feel like I can talk to them about how I am feeling. Being a caring person is the most important characteristic needed in a therapist at our school. They should be a friendly face for the students and the teachers."
You'll be joining our team based at either Lingwood or Belton. Our primary model is informed by Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy., If you're a caring, thoughtful, and playful individual looking for a challenging but fulfilling role providing intensive support to children and young people, we would love for you to come and join the Compass family!

DISCLOSURE AND BARRING SERVICE CHECK (formerly CRB)
FOR POSTS WITH DIRECT SERVICE USER CONTACT - Please be advised that due to recent changes in the DBS Service, organisations no longer receive copies of DBS Disclosures - these are sent directly to candidates only. Therefore, it will be your responsibility, if successful, to ensure that this is taken to the appointing officer as soon as you receive it.
Alternatively, if you have subscribed to the update service, we will be able to check your status once we have your authority to do so.
The Trust has now introduced a DBS Update Service which is a contractual requirement. You need to subscribe when you have applied for your DBS clearance and there is a time limit to subscribe of 19 days after receipt of your DBS disclosure. Please ensure that this is completed within the set time scale.
This update service is an annual subscription at a cost of £13 to you. This will enable the Trust to have instant online access to your DBS record, with your consent, and so will remove the need for you to have to apply for this repeat check again.
