We are delighted to be able to advertise a permanent contract in our thriving, dynamic team. We are looking to appoint a Senior Practitioner EP but have the potential to offer this post at Maingrade EP level depending on experience. There is also potential for increasing hours.
We currently have a team of 11 EPs (8.5 FTE) plus 2 TEPs, an Early Years Inclusion Coordinator, 1 Assistant Psychologist (Autism), and a Small Steps team (EY and complex needs). Evaluation is consistently very positive and the team are highly valued by the Local Authority.
We have well-established SLAs with every school in the borough, many of whom buy a session a week. Such regularity of input lends itself to our plan-do-review model of service delivery, with consultation and assessment leading to meaningful intervention over time. In addition, this leads to opportunities for creative and varied work at the individual, group, and whole school level.
We work hard to promote positive relationships and support wellbeing for all. This is established through a hybrid working pattern that brings flexibility and life/work balance alongside all the positives of being closely connected and a sense of belonging within a positive team.
The Hartlepool Psychology Team is determined to continue striving to find new and ever better ways to achieve. The challenge to think and plan together to find new and exciting possibilities, within a professionally robust framework, is constant. Our time is not constrained by statutory processes; rather, it is informed by intelligent and considered reflections about ways forward to improve outcomes for children and young people.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. As such, these posts are subject to safer recruitment measures, and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks are therefore required.
