About Outcomes First Group
At Outcomes First Group, we believe every child has the ability to thrive when given access to a learning environment designed for their success. We exist to provide, champion and develop an exceptional education that is research-led and tailored around the abilities and aspirations of the individual – a commitment that shapes tomorrow’s leaders, cultivates a lifelong love of learning and equips young minds to craft their own bright futures. At the heart of our philosophy lies a unique blend of tradition and innovation. We champion smaller class sizes, personalised learning plans and a curriculum that prepares students for success both in and beyond the classroom, evidenced in a 97% success rate in guiding our leavers into education, employment or training. We are the largest and most accomplished organisation in our sector, enabling us to invest in forward-thinking initiatives and resources based on the needs of the individual pupil rather than the collective, creating consistent and measurable results for our pupils and teams.
The Role
We are looking for a Lead Clinician to manage our in‑house Clinical Team at Parkside House School. The postholder will work collaboratively with the school’s Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and the Regional Clinical Lead. The role will be split between clinically leading the team and holding a therapy caseload. Collaboratively with the team, the postholder will deliver bespoke assessment and intervention plans for our students who may present with complex profiles of need as a result of autism and other types of neurodivergence, developmental trauma and social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. Meeting the needs of EHCP plans will be a primary focus in this role, target‑led via the OFG ‘all’, ‘group’ and ‘individual’ clinical ways of working, embedded into our clinical practice. They will also be responsible for coordinating the line management of the members of the onsite clinical team and leading on the service development of the clinical school‑based service, alongside the school SLT and Regional Clinical Lead.
Our Clinical Teams help maintain a person‑centred, empowering approach, always putting the pupils we support at the forefront of everything they do. All our settings maintain a strong safeguarding culture, and the pupils we support are heard, respected, and involved in decisions that affect them. We strive for excellence, which is why we are one of the leading service providers in the UK. With this in mind, we are looking for a Lead Clinician who shares our vision to use innovative approaches to enhance the quality of life and outcomes of the pupils we support.
