Educational Psychologists

We are delighted to have the opportunity to welcome new EPs to our friendly, well regarded and collaborative team, working within our SEND service in Cambridgeshire. We are looking for EPs to work with us on a permanent basis, and welcome applications from EPs looking to work full-time or part time. We welcome full-time and part-time applicants from those in year 2 and 3 of their doctoral EP training. We would also welcome applications from locum EPs who are looking to explore opportunities to rejoin an LA team. You will be part of one of our teams based across the county (currently in Wisbech, Huntingdon, Ely and Cambridge) and will work alongside Specialist Teachers and Specialist SEND Practitioners in a multi-disciplinary team.

Main duties of the job

As an autonomous member of our team, you will be applying a range of psychological theories and tools in your work with schools and other settings, working closely with families, and colleagues from other teams and disciplines to provide a holistic and co-ordinated response to need. Our work reflects our strong beliefs and commitment to evidence-based practice, social justice, inclusion, the active involvement of children and their families and working closely with schools, communities and other partners. We are committed to Cambridgeshire's Inclusion for All approach, and play a key role in promoting this initiative. You will have your own patch of schools and will be working in one area of the county and contributing to key service developments, strategy and project work. You will be working for a service with a proven track record for developing innovative practice. We have maintained a model of service delivery which is free to our schools and enables us to work creatively, build up strong relationships with our schools and offer early intervention. You will have the opportunity to engage in community and systems work, and pursue your interests. There is also no obligation to write non-statutory reports. What makes us unique and a great place to work is the great people we work alongside and the variety of work we do. You will need to have a first degree in Psychology, recognised by the BPS, a post-graduate qualification in Educational Psychology and be registered with the HCPC.
