Walsall Council is continuing to invest in and grow its Educational Psychology Service
We are a creative and supportive service which is looking to recruit 2 further Senior Educational Psychologists to help lead and manage our growing team, explore new and creative ways of working, and to support the exciting development of our service.
About us
Walsall EPS is situated within the Inclusion Service and plays a key role in the delivery of the SEND and Inclusion vision and strategy. The service has strong links with other teams within Children's Services, as well as with health and social care colleagues. Walsall EPS is commissioned to deliver statutory work, where we are introducing a model of 'advice through co-production' to reduce the need for extended written reports. We also provide core work (including Early Years, critical incident support and support for vulnerable children and young people with EHCPs) and a range of traded psychological services to schools and settings where demand for the service remains high.
The EPS is leading on a supporting a number of initiatives including, ELSA, SCERTs, Mental Health Support Teams, and an EBSA pathway, for example. We would welcome applicants who can support developments in these areas, as well as those who would like to lead new initiatives such as MELSA and develop new commissions with social care in relation to families work. Walsall Council recognises the value of Educational Psychology at an operational and strategic level, and we are seeking to increase our capacity to meet growing demand. Successful candidates will join our 2 existing Senior EPs as part of the management team to support a team of specialist seniors, main-grade and trainee EPs.
Areas of specialism can be agreed with the PEP but we would be interested in hearing from applicants who wish to lead in SEMH, Cognition and Learning, Autism and Social Interaction, Inclusion, or Communities and Families.
What we can offer you
Walsall EPS is a dynamic service with lots of exciting opportunities and advantages, including:
