Educational Psychologist – Brent Council Jobs London

Overview

Position Title: Educational Psychologist

Company: Brent Council

Location: London, UK

Job Description

Brent is a tremendously vibrant London borough where the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium dominates the skyline. Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make-up. Brent’s diversity is evident to all who visit our borough and our long history of ethnic and cultural diversity has created a place that is truly unique and valued by those who live and work here. The council is pursuing a far-reaching transformation agenda that better meets the needs of our community so it is an exciting time to join us.

Responsibilities:

• The post will comprise the normal range of EP duties including providing a service as a link EP to a group of schools and providing psychological advice and support to our SEN department. There will be opportunities to supervise the work of Trainee EPs, Assistant EPs and (if appropriate) other main grade EPs.
• There will also be an opportunity to be involved in project work contributing to strategic priorities within the Children and Young People’s Department in Brent. The EPS has oversight over the work of the Wellbeing and Emotional Support Team (WEST), which is a service commissioned from The Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families by Brent Council.
• We are now able to offer our EPs the opportunity to contribute to the work of this service (e.g. for one day a week). Training and supervision from the Anna Freud Centre will be offered to EPs interested in availing of this.

Requirements:

• We are keen to hear from qualified EPs or third-year TEPs who would like to work in our friendly and experienced team. We are looking for EPs who want to support schools through consultation and a range of ideas and approaches in respect of assessment and intervention in our schools and settings.
