For a child experiencing difficulties at school, being understood is only the beginning.
What happens next matters: the support they receive, the confidence they build and the people around them working together.
At Learning Links, you will have a genuine opportunity to influence and lead a team of 6 to 8 registered and provisional psychologists, keep your own clinical practice and help turn that understanding into practical support for children and families.
A shared focus on children's learning
For more than 50 years, Learning Links has supported children with learning difficulties.
Our work brings together psychology, speech pathology and education, in partnership with families and schools.
Based at Gledswood Hills, you and your team will work in our clinic, in schools and online with children from 3 years to their teens, and their families.
The work is varied, spanning specific learning disorders, autism, ADHD, global developmental delay, emotional and social wellbeing, and family support.
Shape how the psychology service operates, working with the Head of Allied Health and Operations and Principal Psychologist to strengthen clinical practice, workforce capability and service delivery.
You'll lead the people and day-to-day performance of the psychology team, while partnering with our Principal Psychologist on clinical standards, supervision and practice development.
