Job Introduction

Post: Assistant Educational Psychologist
12-month Fixed term contract, 37 hours per week
Soulbury terms (Assistant EP scale 2-5)

An opportunity has arisen to join Telford & Wrekin Educational Psychology Service at a particularly exciting stage in our development. Through our innovative Experts at Hand model, Educational Psychology is increasingly positioned at the heart of support for children, young people, families, schools and communities across the borough.

Successful candidates will join a creative, highly skilled and supportive team that is valued by education settings, families and strategic partners. We are committed to promoting inclusion, belonging, wellbeing and positive life outcomes through psychologically informed, relational and collaborative practice.

Working under the clinical supervision and line management of a qualified EP, you will be supporting our team of Educational Psychologists in delivering traded and statutory work to schools though a range of activities such as observation, consultation and implementation of intervention strategies.

Alongside supporting traded and statutory work, you will contribute to the ongoing development of our Experts at Hand offer, helping Educational Psychologists deliver accessible consultation, early intervention, project work, workforce development and innovative approaches that strengthen inclusion and wellbeing across schools and communities.

Working under the supervision of qualified Educational Psychologists, you will support consultation-based work with schools, families and partner agencies through activities such as observation, information gathering, intervention support, research and project work. You will also support the Educational Psychology Service with delivery on a range of Local Authority project work our psychologists are involved in, including research and development activity in a wide range of areas. This sits alongside supporting delivery of our Wellbeing Charter Mark. Duties will be varied, and fully supervised and supported.

You will be required to have a degree (or a conversion course) in psychology recognised by the British Psychological Society which provides Graduate Basis for Chartered (GBC) membership. You will need to demonstrate relevant experience working with children and young people to promote wellbeing and progress and be able to demonstrate an understanding of linking psychological theory and approaches to working with children and their families. You will demonstrate an understanding of linking psychological theory and approaches to working with children and their families, supporting early development, conducting observations, and working collaboratively with parents, carers and professionals. Experience in approaches to early communication, emotional literacy and/or play based intervention would be considered desirable. Prior experience as an Assistant Educational Psychologist would be welcomed and valued.

At Telford & Wrekin Council, we know that having a diverse workforce is key to providing the best possible services to our community. We celebrate having a diverse and inclusive culture where people are able to be themselves at work, and everyone has a voice.

This post would be particularly suitable for candidates considering future doctoral training in Educational Psychology. You will gain supervised experience across consultation, assessment, intervention, research, project work and multi-agency collaboration whilst working alongside a supportive and experienced team of Educational Psychologists.

As the ideal candidate you will:

Have a degree in Psychology (or equivalent) recognised by the British Psychological Society which provides Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC).
Have experience of working with children and young people and a commitment to improving wellbeing, inclusion and positive outcomes.
Be able to draw links between psychological theory, research and practice.
Enjoy working collaboratively with children, families, schools and professionals.
Demonstrate curiosity, reflection and enthusiasm for learning and professional development.
Share our commitment to equitable, anti-racist, neuro-affirming and culturally responsive practice.

We offer:

A strong and highly regarded EPS which provides opportunities for varied types of work.
Outstanding team support including regular supervision, reflective practice and peer support.
A well-balanced approach to office and home working, allowing flexibility alongside extensive opportunity for relationship building and peer supervision and support.
The opportunity to contribute to the development of our nationally distinctive Experts at Hand model.
Opportunities to contribute to research, evaluation and service innovation.
A rich range of professional development opportunities and support for progression into Educational Psychology training.

The opportunity to contribute to meaningful work across schools, families, communities and multi-agency partnerships. A Council whose Children’s Services received back-to-back ‘outstanding’ ratings from Ofsted for its children's services, and who were crowned Council of The Year 2025 at the Local Government Chronicle Awards in June 2025. The Ofsted/CQC report notes that the ‘passion and determination’ of our staff and services is leading to positive outcomes.
