As a service, we work collaboratively to ensure our offer remains responsive to the evolving needs of the communities we serve. We are committed to continuous development, adapting to shifting priorities and emerging needs. This is strengthened by the positive relationships we have built with schools and our strong, integrated approach to partnership working across services.
We welcome expressions of interest from experienced Educational Psychologists who are keen to develop areas of specialism and are committed to contributing to a knowledgeable, supportive, and forward-thinking team. Applicants must be professionally qualified and registered with the HCPC.
