Educational Psychologists (EP)

Warwickshire

EP - Soulbury A (3-8 + up to 3 SPAs)    

Warwickshire Educational Psychology Service (EPS) is a community focussed service, which strives for inclusion by removing barriers.  We have continued to thrive and further develop our offer, despite the COVID-19 context, and have maintained our well-founded reputation for supporting settings and other services.  We have developed innovative ways of delivering support to parents/carers, children/young people, schools and other settings and continue to focus on gaining positive outcomes for Warwickshire’s children, young people and families. 

We are a strong, vibrant and expanding service working across five teams in three geographical areas, and accessible to over 250 education providers. Each team is led by a Senior Educational Psychologist.  All schools have a named link EP and the range of work undertaken across teams is hugely varied. We have increasing strategic engagement, with commissions from within the local authority, with Warwickshire’s range of ‘education providers’ and with other settings.

We place a high value on work-life balance.  We have always had the opportunity to work from home (pre-Covid), to access non-designated office bases and to work flexible hours.  We have very successfully developed a range of virtual working practices which has increased our flexibility further.

EPs in Warwickshire say:  

‘I have always felt welcomed, actively included and supported….’, ‘my professional skills go from strength to strength’, ‘I love the range of opportunities open to all: virtual school, trauma informed and attachment aware training, neurodevelopment team in CAMHs, In Year Fair Access’,  ‘this EPS stands out to me because of the cohesive nature of the teams’, ‘I like the flexibility of work, and of working’, ‘the consultative emphasis of the service,  using tools such as Circle of Adults’.
