<h2>Job summary</h2>

fast-track your career goals in psychology important to you? Are you looking for an organisation which
will offer you flexible development pathways which are not constrained by a
rigid, prescribed progression structure?At Iris Care Group we really
appreciate the work our registered psychologists do and the results they
achieve for our service users.Having listened to feedback on the
support they felt would benefit them to develop their careers, we created a
specific skills escalator and compendium of internal training and professional

We are also dedicated to enriching progression
through regular appraisals. Opportunities for additional external
post-qualification training can be tailored to align with our clinicians
