Warwickshire Council - Educational Psychologists

Due to increasing demand for our traded and local authority work Warwickshire County Council are looking to recruit more educational psychologists. 

Warwickshire Educational Psychology Service (EPS) is a community focussed service, which strives for inclusion by removing barriers. We have continued to grow and further develop our offer and have maintained our well-founded reputation for supporting settings and other services.  We have developed innovative ways of delivering support to parents/carers, children/young people, schools, and other settings, increasing the use of consultation, and continue to focus on gaining positive outcomes for Warwickshire’s children, young people and families. 

We are a large, vibrant, and strong service of over forty EPs.  Each team is led by a Senior Educational Psychologist.  The breadth and range of work undertaken across the service is hugely varied. We contribute and take a lead in a range of strategic initiatives within the Local Authority such as 

• Senior Mental Health Lead Training
• Attachment Aware and Trauma Informed Schools Projects
• Emotional Based School Avoidance Pathway
• Building Inclusive Schools Project
• Literacy for All Project

Across Warwickshire we have several full time or part time posts available. We would also welcome applications from Trainee Educational Psychologists. Newly Qualified Educational Psychologist will start on Soulbury Scale A Point 4.     

We place a high value on work-life balance. We provide an established programme of professional supervision through line management and peer approaches. We can offer a range of generic and specialist work within the 0-25 age range in all types of educational setting. We have very successfully developed a range of flexible working practices and all EPs are issued with a Surface Pro to support this.

Would you like to join us? 

• If you want to be challenged to apply educational psychology to facilitate and coach improved outcomes across a variety of traded and statutory clients;
• If you want to work in a supportive, flexible, responsive, and ethically driven working environment; and,

Key Skills and Experience: We need motivated, enthusiastic, skilled, creative and successful EPs able to improve outcomes for children, young people and families through individual, group, and system level activity, and through research and project work. You need to be a reflective practitioner, resilient, solution orientated, and an excellent communicator.  You must be HCPC registered.  An enhanced DBS check is required for this post.
