About the Role
This is an excellent opportunity to start your career or develop your skills within a supportive, progressive, and well-regarded service. The Educational Psychology Service has developed a high level of commissioned work across the Borough, which has increased year-on-year. All mainstream maintained schools and academies in the Borough currently commission EP support from the Service. This enables, alongside statutory and other Local Authority core work, EP contribution to SEN Support level assessment and consultation, organisational support and intervention, and community-based projects. Members of the team each link with a relatively small number of schools and other settings, with scope to provide a range of support within them. There remains a healthy balance of pre-statutory and preventative work, alongside a statutory role. We are always developing our practice, and recently have been strengthening our work as a Service in meeting the Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs of children and young people in Harrow. This has included ELSA delivery and work around Emotional Based School Non Attendance. As a Service, we are actively contributing to aspects of the Local Authority’s SEND Strategy, including developing Ordinarily Available Provision guidance. We are a very positive, supportive and reflective team, which values individual strengths and interests as well as promoting team working and peer supervision. We offer thorough induction to all who join us as well as flexible working and continued professional development. The Educational Psychology Service has a history of working very closely and collaboratively with schools and other professional partners including through co-location with: the S.E.N. Assessment and Review Service, Children and Young Adults 0-25 Disabilities Service, Community Learning Disability Team, Children’s Sensory Team, Autistic Spectrum Teachers, Portage Home Visitors, Virtual School, Youth Justice Service, and Early Support Service in Children’s Centres. We are based in high tech and newly built Harrow Hub, facilitating time spent working together, connecting, and learning with each other as a team, alongside a mobile and flexible working culture. We have outstanding IT for our business needs, including access to digital assessments. Schools in Harrow are high achieving, recently ranking 6th nationally (top 4%) among 151 local authorities for the percentage of its pupils achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics at Key Stage 2, and 4th (top 3%) for its GCSE 'progress' score.
