Educational Psychology Service - Building Bright Futures

Are you passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of children and families, with a strong commitment to equality and inclusion? Our Educational Psychology Service (EPS) operates on a foundation of core values like kindness, respect, and integrity.

Main duties of the job

We thrive in a collaborative and dynamic environment where you'll have the opportunity to work alongside fellow Educational Psychologists, Trainees, and Assistant Psychologists.

As part of Wiltshire's Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) service, the EPS plays a vital role by offering diverse services, actively participating in decision-making processes, and contributing to county-wide initiatives. You will be encouraged to develop your skills through project work and our ongoing CPD programme. Connections to Southampton and Bristol Doctoral programmes provide frequent opportunities for trainee supervision.

In this role, you'll serve as the link EP for various educational settings, offering statutory advice and preventative work. For the next academic year, we will build on our innovative subscription model, further increasing support accessibility to schools and communities. Your strong values of equality, inclusion, and improving outcomes for all will be evident as you work with Wiltshire's young people, families, and settings.

Join our mission to positively impact the lives of children and families in Wiltshire.
