Senior Educational Psychologist

About the role

Hackney Educational Psychology Service is highly valued by educational settings and other professionals in Hackney. We employ a consultative style of service delivery and we have a commitment to the development and learning opportunities of all EPs in the team to explore areas of professional interest. We offer a rich and varied working experience as an EP in Hackney. EPs work within the Virtual School, Mental Health in Schools Teams, CAMHS, Social Care teams and we have other diverse commissions offering exciting opportunities to develop practice. We also have EPs connected to 3 of the London EP training courses, delivering VIG (Video Interaction Guidance) interventions and training ELSAs. We are continually refining our services and exploring different ways of applying our psychological skills.

Our service is founded on the principles of anti-racist practice and social justice. We believe that every individual, regardless of their background, deserves equitable access to opportunities and support. This belief underpins our commitment to anti-oppressive practices both within our team and in the services we provide to the community.

We are looking for an experienced senior educational psychologist who can support the existing leadership team in developing strategic direction in partnership with Integrated SEND service partners and in consolidating operational excellence across the team.

We offer a comprehensive induction and supervision programme including peer supervision, flexible working hours and an essential car user allowance. We provide excellent IT facilities, including iPads, and are based alongside multi-disciplinary partners in a modern open plan building in the heart of Hackney.
