The work will include assessing and understanding complex and challenging behaviour, trauma work, developing positive behavioural approaches, direct work with children and young people ( adapted CBT around separations, bereavements, covid-related anxieties), working with parental grief and attachment. There may be opportunities for cognitive and ASD/ADHD assessment and group work

    Agile and flexible working:
