We have an exciting opportunity for an aspiring Educational Psychologist to join our supportive and highly regarded Educational Psychology Service in the beautiful surroundings of North Wales.

As an Assistant Educational Psychologist, you will be a valued member of our team, working alongside experienced Educational Psychologists to support children and young people, their families, schools, and wider services. Under supervision, you will contribute to consultations, observations, assessments, interventions, report writing, research, and service development activity, gaining first-hand experience of the varied and rewarding role of the Educational Psychologist.

At Conwy, we pride ourselves on our collaborative and relationship-based approach. Our Educational Psychology Service is highly valued by schools, families, the wider ALN service, and multi-agency partners. That is why we are looking for an enthusiastic, reflective and motivated individual who is passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people. In return, you will receive high-quality supervision, opportunities for professional growth, and the chance to work within a service that values curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning.

This post is an opportunity to develop your applied psychological knowledge and skills, gain extensive experience across a broad range of educational settings, and build a strong foundation for a future career in Educational Psychology.
