Job description

This is an exciting time to join Sheffield Educational Psychology Service, as we are expanding rapidly. We are committed to continuous improvement and innovative practice to ensure the best outcomes for children and young people.


We are a values-driven Service with all members of the team participating in a collaborative and innovative leadership model to drive us forward. Keeping children at the heart of everything we do, we are solution-focused, person-centred, inclusive, reflective and committed to ethical practice.


We are committed to increasing diversity in the profession and to developing anti-racist practices.


We recently recruited a substantial team of Assistant Educational Psychologists, to work in partnership with EPs and develop new ways of working.


So - are you a creative and inclusive Educational Psychologist? Do you want to work in a Children’s Service with a lively, talented and supportive team of colleagues at this time of development and expansion? Do you want to be involved in the exciting journey we are embarking upon?


Sheffield City itself is not only a vibrant re-modelled city centre with great access to fantastic countryside, it is also an exciting place to work. The Educational Psychology Service is highly valued and supported by the Local Authority, schools and families within the city.


We enjoy good links with the University of Sheffield where we regularly support students on placement and deliver sessions for the training course.

This is the right job for you if you:

  • are committed to developing strong mainstream inclusive practice and local solutions to meeting diverse needs
  • are committed to promoting positive practice and challenging existing ways of working
  • want to make a real difference in the lives of children and young people and are keen to develop innovative practice
  • can demonstrate enthusiasm and good humour

Applications are invited from qualified Educational Psychologists as well as those currently in training. The posts are available as soon as possible.

If you would like to know more about these posts, please ring or email. You will receive a warm welcome.

Contact: Natalie Askham, Acting Principal Educational Psychologist – telephone number 0114 205 6800

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.

It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.

Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. All successful candidates will be required to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.

Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.
