Summary
As an Assistant Psychologist, you will: Work within a multidisciplinary team: Collaborate with Clinical Psychologists, Speech & Language Therapists, OTs, Educational Psychologists, and medical professionals to deliver joined-up assessments. Undertake diverse clinical responsibilities: From cognitive testing (e.g., WISC-V, WAIS) to adaptive functioning assessments (e.g., ABAS-3), to supporting clinical interviews and school observations. Support families and systems: Lead the Telephone Advice Line, co-deliver group sessions, and contribute to outreach and support hubs.
