Ealing is a richly diverse borough, characterized by a mix of inner city and suburban neighborhoods, comprising a population of people from over 100 countries, speaking over 170 different languages, reflecting a broad range of ethnicities, religions, and socio-economic statuses; great affluence as well as deprivation.

The Ealing Educational Psychology Service (EPS) welcomes applicants who share in the Council's vision to champion all children and young people so they can develop and thrive to achieve the best outcomes.

We are seeking main grade educational psychologists committed to our shared vision, to join us in celebrating diversity and delivering applied psychology that champions equitable practice. You will be qualified, or in the second or final year of your doctorate course.

We offer:

• a warm, friendly, innovative, and supportive team
• a strong drive and commitment from leaders to better work/life balance, including a hybrid model of face-to-face and remote working
• opportunities and dedicated time to develop areas of special interest arising from your doctoral research as related to EPS priorities
• dedicated time and support from an assistant educational psychologist
• well-established traded services to support early intervention and facilitate training, including a strong focus on social and emotional mental health
• regular, high-quality individual and peer supervision
• a generous pension scheme
• up to 30 days holiday entitlement

The Educational Psychology Service operates a hybrid working model. Our office is based at Perceval House, central Ealing (less than 10 minutes from Ealing Broadway station).

Ealing Council is committed to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults and expects all staff to share this commitment. All posts are subject to Ealing's enhanced vetting process, including an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

The roles are customer-facing; therefore, applicants must have a command of spoken English sufficient to perform the role effectively. This requirement complies with Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016.

These posts are suitable for job sharing. We welcome applications from Trainee EPs who will complete their doctorate this year, as well as qualified EPs who are HCPC registered.
