Job description

At Cognivate, we believe the "right person" is more important than a specific office location. We are looking for a visionary Lead Neuropsychologist to join our core interdisciplinary team. While we are strategically expanding our reach across the Midlands, we care most about finding a clinician who is passionate about delivering life-changing, community-based neurorehabilitation.

Clinical Excellence: Deliver specialist assessments and interventions focusing on cognitive, emotional, and behavioural rehabilitation in real-world settings (home, work, and community).

Collaborate: Work within a tight-knit interdisciplinary team.

Specialist Support: Utilise and develop trauma-focused techniques and vocational rehabilitation strategies to help clients return to the lives they love.

Who You Are

Qualified: HCPC Registered Practitioner Psychologist with a post-graduate qualification in Neuropsychology (QiCN or equivalent).

Experienced: You have at least 4 years of experience in ABI and a heart for community-based, interdisciplinary work.

Local-ish: Ideally based in or around the Midlands, with a willingness to travel within the region to meet our clients where they are.

Why Cognivate?

Salary: competitive depending on experience (£60-80k FTE).

Flexibility: minimum 0.4fte.

Growth: 35 days annual leave (pro rata) and dedicated external supervision from industry leaders. All travel to and from clients fully paid. Access to our internal and external CPD networks.
