Educational Psychologist - Swindon, United Kingdom - Swindon Borough Council
Description
At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that's who we're doing it for – the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you'll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It's all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.Due to further expansion of the Educational Psychology Service (EPS), we are looking to recruit enthusiastic Educational Psychologists (EP) for permanent and fixed-term (for 12 months) positions within our friendly and supportive team. We would welcome applications from qualified EPs as well as second and final year trainee Eps and have full-time and part-time positions available (minimum 0.6FTE).
Swindon is a small unitary authority that is easily accessible and is an exciting and innovative place to work; recently having been selected by the DfE as a joint leader within the South West for the SEND Change Programme Partnership. The EPS operates within a newly structured Education, Inclusion and Skills Service within Children's Services and is centrally located close to the town centre. Swindon Borough Council are currently operating a hybrid working model which involves a mixture of working on site and remotely in order to promote and encourage a positive work life balance.
Your next role
We are a well-respected, valued team with good relationships with schools and other partners. We provide statutory services on behalf of the Local Authority and have a successful traded service to schools that has enabled us to expand and diversify. The EPS is committed to multi-agency working and improving outcomes for children and families.
Within the service we place a particular focus on team well-being and protecting the provision of regular quality supervision. EPs enjoy varied opportunities to develop and deliver interventions and creative ways of working such as group supervision, coaching, consultation clinics, circles of support, organisational research, ELSA and Cygnet. Additionally, the MeLSA programme will become a new edition to our traded offer to schools for the first time this year.
Please consider making an application if you are:
We offer regular support and supervision, appraisals, induction, excellent CPD opportunities and flexible working practices.
An ability to travel throughout the Borough, flexible working and an enhanced DBS disclosure will be required.
All applicants must be registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC); operate within the professional code of ethics and practice guidelines; and be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act – "for the effective performance of a customer-facing role").
We are committed to making our organisation as diverse as our community and therefore particularly welcome applications from people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people, and people from other diverse communities who are currently under-represented within our organisation.
