Due to the expansion of our team, the MAST service in Plymouth is looking for a newly qualified, or more experienced, EP to join our friendly, innovative and supportive service.

Plymouth Learning Partnership (PLP) is a community interest company supported by its cross-phase member schools that provides school services across Plymouth and surrounding areas.

Working as an EP with us (PLP) offers:

• A warm and supportive large multi-disciplinary team where EPs take a significant leadership role
• A significant emphasis on preventative, systemic, interventionist practice
• Regular CPD, peer supervision and reflective team support
• Flexible and smart working supported by all the necessary IT equipment you will need
• Opportunity to progress to a Senior Educational Psychologist role within PLP (PLP grades 16/17: £58,426-£64,286)
