18 month Fixed Term Contract
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a new type of Psychology role and training: an apprenticeship post known as a Clinical Associate in Psychology (CAP). Clinical Associates in Psychology fill an identified skills gap between assistant psychologists and qualified clinical psychologists. They are able to practice semi-autonomously with appropriate support, working within their scope of practice, under the supervision of a registered psychologist.
If you're shortlisted for this role, your interview will take place on 28 October 2025.
CAPs are trained to work with a particular service user group and in this case with adults with suspected/ confirmed neurodivergence therefore providing a more proscribed range of assessments and interventions than Clinical Psychologists. We are seeking to recruit 3 trainee CAPs and these posts will be based in the following three services: North East and West Essex ADHD services (Colchester/ remote base), Mid and South ADHD service (Chelmsford/ remote base), and South Essex Autism service (Billericay and Basildon bases as well as some remote working).
We are particularly keen to hear from applicants with a Psychology degree who have a commitment to working in the local region, from those with diverse backgrounds and from people who bring lived experience relevant to this field of work.
Valuing you. Recognising your dedication. At EPUT, we look after you.
Receive supervision and support to help you fulfil your potential.
Join an inclusive EPUT community and connect with others through engagement events and equality or champion networks.
If you need help, we provide mental health and wellbeing services, occupational health advice and counselling.
We run recognition awards to recognise staff's hard work and dedication.

**Benefits**:
27 days holiday, plus bank holidays, rising to 33 days after 10 years’ service.
Excellent pension of up to14.5% of your pensionable pay.
Staff discounts include Blue Light Card, NHS discount offers, and staff benefits.
£8K relocation package if you move to Essex to join us
