We value the importance of reflective practice and as such provide a variety of opportunities for individual supervision and regular group peer supervision to support you in your role. We also offer a thorough induction programme.

We are committed to inclusive, person centred practice that values diversity and has high aspirations for all learners. Applicants should have experience of working within a consultation-based model of service delivery and show an understanding of the unique contribution EPs can make to the education and emotional wellbeing of all.

The EPS has a long history of providing high quality psychological services to schools as well as providing training and capacity building activities. Applicants will need to evidence collaborative and team working skills that can contribute to the development of the EPS. A sound knowledge of the ALNET Act and The Additional Learning Needs Code for Wales is key.

Swansea EPS offers a flexible working system to promote a positive work life balance.

We welcome applications from qualified Educational Psychologists who are registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) or are in their final year of a doctoral training programme in educational psychology that confers eligibility to register with the HCPC as an EP.
