Purpose of the roleAre you an Educational Psychologist looking for a role where you can truly influence lives, shape practice and lead meaningful change across a forward-thinking organisation?
At the William Henry Smith Foundation, you will work as part of a highly respected multidisciplinary team, supporting children and young people aged 5–25 with complex SEMH needs, SEND, trauma and neurodiversity. This is a unique opportunity to work across both education and residential settings, embedding trauma-aware and psychologically informed approaches at every level.
In this role, you will combine strategic leadership with hands‑on practice — influencing safeguarding, contributing to complex casework, working closely with families and multi‑agency partners, and shaping innovative responses to emerging challenges such as digital and online risks. You’ll also play a key role in developing staff, driving service improvement and ensuring every child and young person experiences safety, belonging and success.
If you are a collaborative, reflective practitioner who is passionate about improving outcomes and leading positive change, we would love to hear from you. Join us and help create environments where children and young people feel understood, valued and empowered to achieve their full potential.
