Job Opportunity for a Forensic or Clinical Psychologist
A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen for a proactive, creative, and highly skilled Forensic or Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about supporting children and young people in a secure setting.
You will join our fantastic multi-disciplinary team at our Lincolnshire Secure Children's Home, rated Outstanding by both CQC and Ofsted.
