THIS ROLE FALLS IN SCOPE OF IR35
This is not a traded service role.
Job Description and Personnel Specification are attached, which also provides more information above the role.
Applicants must hold a professional qualification in Educational Psychology or will have qualified by September 2021 and must be registered with the HCPC.
o Do you enjoy applying psychology creatively and at multiple levels?
o Are you a psychologist who likes a challenge?
o Are you an innovator who can help us to further develop our working relationships with partners including Social Care and Public Health?
This is an exciting opportunity to join an established and highly valued Community Educational and Child Psychology team that is expanding and evolving to meet the demands and needs of a diverse population by increasing our capacity.
Sandwell Educational Psychology Service (EPS) is a strong and vibrant team that is an integral part of the well- regarded multi-professional Inclusion Support Service (Ofsted-HMI 2017) within an LA where 'Informed and coordinated actions are improving provision and outcomes for children and young people with SEND' (Ofsted-HMI 2019).
We provide a working environment that promotes good working relationships and the strength of team support. You will work a school patch system in a multi-professional team but will also meet regularly with the ECP team which includes Senior ECPs, Senior Specialist ECPs, Trainee ECPs, Assistant ECPs and Research Psychologists. You will have a laptop and mobile phone, which will enable you to work efficiently and agilely.
We are fortunate to continue to operate within a centrally-funded model, but we are also developing our traded offer with schools. In addition, we are delivering high profile projects, such as the Sandwell Wellbeing Charter Mark, that have been commissioned by partners within the Local Authority including Public Health and Social Care. Our ECPs are also involved in the delivery of Video Interactive Guidance (VIG) and Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST), and have led on the development of a range of psychologically-based assessment tools and whole school approaches.
In Sandwell every day is different where the work involves a variation of activities including consultation, training, research and work with Early Years children right up to Post 16 young people. ECPs are encouraged to be innovative and creative to support service development and are autonomous in the approaches taken and the choice of tools used to work with children and young people. The ECP team have a solid team identity that is grounded in the values of Community Psychology, with a strong emphasis on person-centred approaches and anti-oppressive practice.
Sandwell is an exciting and continuously developing service where Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is highly valued. Conse...
