Our employees are incredibly passionate about the jobs they do – you will find a strong team spirit across our services and amazing colleagues who always pull together and look out for each other.

We are a dynamic unit, which offers many opportunities for Assistant Psychologists to develop their clinical, neuropsychological and team working skills within our interdisciplinary team, which comprises physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, psychology, occupational therapy and health and care staff. Our Assistant Psychologists have opportunities at Graham Anderson House and within Brainkind, to develop competencies in evaluating the effectiveness of our rehabilitation programmes and to contribute to research projects when available.
