Hackney Education provides a range of services to support the education of children, young people and adults in our inner London borough. Hackney is one of the UK’s highest performing local authorities, serving one of London’s best places to live and work. Within our diverse borough we serve a wide range of children and young people. We have a particular focus on supporting less advantaged families: Hackney figures in the 10% most deprived boroughs in England on a number of measures.

Hackney Education’s key priority is to improve the life chances of every child, young person and learner: making Hackney the most forward looking education system in the UK, where schools, settings and partners provide an exciting environment which ensures inclusion and success for everyone. We see our borough as being one of the best places in the country for young people to grow, learn, develop and achieve –and one of the best places for colleagues to work and thrive in our education system.

Job title: Assistant Educational Psychologist

Salary: Soulbury Assistant Educational Psychologist SCP 2-5 (plus Inner London weighting £3803)

Terms and Conditions: 3 Year Fixed Term, Full Time

Are you a passionate, resilient, and driven psychology graduate looking to make a meaningful impact? The Hackney Educational Psychology service is a vibrant, diverse, and innovative team committed to supporting the emotional, social, and educational well-being of children and young people (CYP) across the Hackney community.

We are currently recruiting for Assistant Educational Psychologists to join us at a pivotal time. You will play a crucial role in our service by actively contributing to the delivery of the SEND reforms across educational settings within the London Borough of Hackney.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to gain high-quality experience working alongside experienced Educational Psychologists. You will be involved in:

Delivering SEND Reforms: Supporting the implementation of new legislation and frameworks to improve outcomes for CYP with special educational needs and disabilities.
Assessment & Intervention: Assisting with observations, data analysis, and the delivery of evidence-based interventions.
Collaborative Practice: Working within a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) to provide coordinated support to schools, families, and professionals.
Research & Development: Contributing to research projects and disseminating findings to support inclusive practice.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for individuals who share our commitment to inclusive values, specifically anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice.

Essential Criteria:

A Psychology degree (or equivalent).
At least 1 year of experience working with children and young people (this does not need to be continuous).

Desired Skills & Experience:

Evidence of applying psychological theory to work with CYP and an understanding of the Local Authority Educational Psychologist role.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to manage workloads effectively.
An understanding of SEND reforms and relevant legislation.
A proactive approach to research, presentation, and intervention delivery.

Why Join Us?

Hackney is a diverse and dynamic borough. You will be joining a supportive, forward-thinking team that values professional development, self-reflection, innovation, and leadership. We prioritize collaborative working relationships and are looking for Assistant EPs who are ready to learn and contribute to our ongoing success. Assistant EPs joining our EP team will be closely involved in supporting the delivery of multiple Multi-Disciplinary projects and collaboratively working with specialist services to further develop our community offer.

Hackney Education is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment. As this role involves regulated activity, the successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check and additional pre-employment checks in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education statutory guidance.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975, 2013 and 2020.

We are also working towards our vision, which is to be a place for everyone; where residents and staff can be proud; a place that celebrates diversity and where everyone can feel valued, included and involved. In order to achieve this, we look for people who are: Proud; Ambitious; Pioneering; Open; Proactive; Inclusive.

Hackney Council works to eradicate discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy and maternity, age and marital status. We also recognise that people can be disadvantaged by their social and economic circumstances, so we will also work to eliminate discrimination and disadvantage caused by social class. We also welcome those interested in flexible working. We particularly welcome applications from disabled people and people from a black and global majority background as these groups are currently under represented in our workforce.
