The Emotional Resilience Team is part of South Tyneside Educational Psychology Service, which is a friendly, highly supportive and nurturing team of educational psychologists, specialist teachers and emotional resilience officers.

The Service is very well regarded by its users, as is evident from the consistently excellent feedback it receives. It maintains highly positive working relationships with schools, other professionals and the Local Authority.

You will also provide additionality to the existing support mechanisms to improve attendance, behaviours and self-esteem.


We are seeking an emotional resilience officer who is willing to be part of a multidisciplinary team and who has experience in working with children and young people in both mainstream and specialist settings.

To help you achieve this we are committed to offering opportunities for continuing professional development in areas linked to emotional health and wellbeing.

  • We offer opportunities for you to provide supervision, regular individual supervision and peer support, tailored to the needs of the individual.
  • Effective and wellestablished multiagency working.
  • Excellent administrative support.
