Working with East Sussex EPS is an extremely supportive experience, as our service is based on shared values and a shared love of learning. You will be part of a small team of Assistant Educational Psychologists and Trainee Educational Psychologists, who are all very friendly and collaborative in their work. Our service is highly regarded alongside a wide range of other early intervention and inclusion services.

You will have autonomy and flexibility in terms of working hours and up to two days per week working from home. There is a generous travel allowance. You’ll be working in a beautiful and varied environment, including coastal, rural, and urban, with each presenting unique challenges and rewards.
