Hammersmith and Fulham EPS are looking for a creative and enthusiastic EPs to join our team here in West London. We are a small, supportive and sociable team based in central west London with a whole range of leisure, hospitality and retail therapy facilities right on our doorstep.

We are a consultation-based service with a high level of commissioned time in our schools, enabling a broad range of creative, systemic and preventative work as well as project work within the borough.  EPs are encouraged to develop in their areas of professional interest and all team members have the opportunity to train in Video Interaction Guidance, psychological supervision and SCERTS.

With the additional posts we will have great scope to extend the range of capacity building activities we can offer schools, as well as working alongside colleagues in multi-disciplinary teams to deliver ‘targeted plus’ support.

As a service, we are very supportive of TEPs and are currently supporting 4 trainees in Years 2 and 3. We have established strong links with the London courses. 

We particularly welcome applications from members of minoritised communities as we continue to build an EPS team that reflects the diversity of the population we are working with.
