We have an exciting role on offer within our Children’s Services as a Educational Psychologist.
Middlesbrough Educational Psychology Service are looking for an enthusiastic and compassionate colleague to join our team. The role is offered on a hybrid working basis, a blend of working from home and the office.
Middlesbrough EPS is a strong and vibrant service, trading successfully with schools. All our colleagues complete a range of traded, statutory and project work. We have a strong focus on staff wellbeing, collaborative working and values based practice. We use consultation as a model of service delivery.
The successful candidate will deliver psychological services to a group of schools. This typically includes consultation and assessment on individual pieces of casework and a range of other activities such as training; solution-oriented meetings; circles of adults; PATHS and intervention. There is also a requirement to prepare written statutory advice that meets the service’s quality standards, within the required six-week timescale (we do not have a backlog of statutory assessments). There are also opportunities to be involved in project and other systemic work, to develop areas of interest.
You will have excellent interpersonal skills and a reflective approach to practice. We are currently preparing to be part of a strong Experts at Hand service in Middlesbrough with a strong focus on early intervention and capacity building.
If this is you, this may be the opportunity you are looking for!
There is a strong focus on collaborative working within the team; we meet every Wednesday to work together, deliver supervision and CPD.
We are currently developing our training offer and look forward to helping you develop your interests.
