Enfield is increasingly one of the most diverse areas of London, with all the benefits this brings us across our communities, culture, heritage and local economy. We are seeking a maingrade EP to join our friendly, dynamic and highly-regarded Educational Psychology Service. We have a strong focus on emotional health and wellbeing, developing trauma informed and culturally responsive practice. The EPS takes a lead across several areas across the partnership including trauma informed practice, EBSNA, autism and neurodiversity.
We have a history of multi-agency working, and all of our EPs have opportunities to work within projects and partner services, and develop specialist interests. All EPs have a patch of schools with strong relationships and partnership working.
You will benefit from a supportive senior leadership team, supporting team belonging, wellbeing and work/life balance. There is a service-wide CPD programme providing ongoing training where we can grow and reflect together. Peer and group supervision sessions take place alongside individual supervision.
We have strong links with the doctoral training courses and are committed to supporting our Trainee Educational Psychologists on placement, and through roles as university tutors.
We are supported by a friendly, efficient and dedicated business support team and are based in Enfield Town with free car parking. The EPS is co-located with other Education teams, supporting collaborative working.
Hear from our EPs, and learn more about our EP Service on the EPS website.
If you would like to speak to us about the role, please contact Dr Rebekah Boyd (Senior EP) or Dr Emma Gore Langton (Deputy Principal EP & Service Manager) on eps@enfield.gov.uk
We welcome diversity and multi-lingual speakers who would strengthen our service offer to our local communities.
We are committed to safeguarding and safer recruitment. This post requires an enhanced DBS check with children and adults’ barred lists, and references for all posts held in the last five years. We verify all references by speaking directly with referees.
This post requires a professional qualification in Educational Psychology and registration with the HCPC. We warmly welcome applications from Trainee EPs on approved doctorate training courses, who are on track to receive HCPC-registration by Sept 2026 or Sept 2027.
