Career Profile - Educational Psychologist


Career Profile


Educational psychologists work with children, young people, families and schools, using psychology to promote positive outcomes in relation to wellbeing, communication and learning

As an educational psychologist, you’ll work collaboratively with children and young people from birth to 25 years old, alongside families and schools, on a variety of issues. These can include supporting children with learning difficulties or communication needs, and helping schools to meet the needs of young people who are finding it difficult to manage their emotions.

Educational psychologists work at various different levels:

* on an individual level – assessing a child’s needs and working with schools to implement provision that meets the identified needs
* at a group level – supporting a set of children with similar needs
* supporting the systems around the child – for example, supporting a school to develop their inclusion policy.

You’ll use a variety of techniques when working directly with children and young people to assess their needs. These include observations, assessments of learning and different methods to elicit the voice of the child or young person. Consultation and collaboration with parents, teachers, social workers, doctors and other people involved in the child’s education are also important ways in which you can gather information.

From here, you will support schools and parents to develop a range of appropriate interventions and strategies. These can include learning programmes, strategies to support emotional regulation and collaborative work with teachers or parents.

You may also provide in-service training for teachers, teaching assistants and other professionals on issues such as staff wellbeing or a relational understanding of behaviour. A further aspect to the job is research and advising on educational provisions and policies.

Responsibilities
As an Educational Psychologist, you’ll need to:

* assess children’s learning and emotional needs
* design, develop and support therapeutic and behaviour management programmes
* consult with multi-agency teams to advise on the best approaches and provisions to support learning and development
* support parents, teachers and others involved with the education of children and young people
* design and develop projects involving children and young people
* write reports making recommendations on action to be taken
* advise, persuade, support and negotiate with teachers, parents and other education professionals
* attend case conferences involving multidisciplinary teams on how best to meet the social, emotional, behavioural and learning needs of the children and young people in your care
* prioritise effectiveness – the context and environment that influence the child’s development are seen as increasingly important
* conduct active research
* formulate interventions that focus on applying knowledge, skills and expertise to support local and national initiatives
* develop and apply effective interventions to promote psychological wellbeing, social, emotional and behavioural development, and to raise educational standards.

Salary

* Trainee educational psychologists in England and Wales are provided with a bursary of £15,950 in Year 1. In Years 2 and 3, most continue to receive the bursary. However, some placements will offer a salaried role for trainees in years 2 and 3, which can range from £24,970 to £34,107.
* Once fully qualified, salaries begin at around £38,865 and rise incrementally up to £52,440. This can increase to £57,544 with the addition of structured professional assessment points.
* Senior and principal educational psychologists can earn from £48,727 to £65,707. With the addition of discretionary scale points and structured professional assessment points, this can increase to £72,090.
* Fully-qualified educational psychologists in Scottish local authorities earn in the region of £47,505 to £60,423. Salaries for senior educational psychologists are £64,188, rising to £74,382 for principal educational psychologists.
Salaries and bursaries in the London area attract a London weighting.

In England and Wales most salaries are set using the Soulbury Agreement.

Pay scales in Scotland are set by the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers (SNCT) and are similar to those set by the Soulbury committee.

Income figures are intended as a guide only.

Working Hours

Working hours are usually 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday. This can include some evening work for parent-teacher meetings. Flexibility is common, provided the job requirements are met.

There are opportunities for part-time work, career breaks and job-sharing.

What to expect

* You’ll usually have a central office base and travel locally to schools and clients’ homes as required. Opportunities are available throughout the UK.
* You’ll usually work as part of a multidisciplinary team and will collaborate closely with teachers, as well as with other education, health and social services professionals.
* Self-employment and freelance work as a consultant is an option for experienced educational psychologists. The work is more likely to be focused on individuals, or within certain sectors, such as independent schools.
* The work can be challenging as it involves contact with children and young people who are facing difficulties, but can also be rewarding.
* Educational psychologists receive supervision throughout their career.

Skills
You’ll need to have:

* excellent communication and interpersonal skills
* sensitivity, tact and diplomacy
* an open-minded and sensitive approach when dealing with children and young people
* the ability to explore emotional issues with children and young people
* a healthy curiosity and research-minded approach to work
analytical skills
* the ability to work as part of a team
* the ability to be assertive, persuasive and an effective facilitator
* independence and self-motivation
* self-awareness, self-knowledge, security and self-belief
* the ability to work under pressure
* time management skills to be able to manage a caseload and prioritise your workload
* a flexible and adaptable approach to work, with the ability to use your own initiative
* an understanding of confidentiality and how to deal with sensitive information
* understanding of cultural and religious diversity.

Career prospects

There’s a defined organisational structure and a clear progression route in local authority work to senior and principal educational psychologist roles. However, there are a limited number of steps on the ladder.

In a large authority, psychological services are usually organised into districts, with individual psychologists responsible for the majority of the work in their own area. Also, there are likely to be some specialist posts held by experienced practitioners, for example working in specialist units or with one particular condition.

Career development can take many forms. For some people the option to become self-employed, undertake work on a freelance basis or become an active member within the profession will provide new challenges. There are also opportunities to influence policies and develop best-practice models.

Another way you might develop your career is by specialising in a particular area of psychology, often selected through local need. If you’re in a position to choose a specialty, opt for one that you have an affinity with as you should enjoy the research.

Course Qualification - What qualification will I receive?


  Course Qualifications


This is a dual-certification course and you will therefore receive two qualifications. This course is certified by Open Learning College via the Open Pathway Accreditation Programme.

This course leads to a Level 3 for successful learners. This means that it is independently accredited at a level of learning equivalent to level 3 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) for England.

This qualification has been developed by Open Learning College to meet the specific needs of our learners and has been accredited by QLS demonstrating the learning activity has reached the required Quality Licence Scheme standards and benchmarks.

The Quality Licence Scheme recognises a provider’s commitment to high-quality courses in the non-regulated sector, by evaluating quality processes and endorsing an organisation. This demonstrates to the people you work with that there is a commitment to delivering a high quality of learning and learners are able to receive an endorsed Certificate of Achievement upon completion of their course.

Open Learning College have undergone external quality checks to ensure that the organisation and the courses’ it offers meet a high standard. Regular reviews of our courses are carried out as part of the endorsement process.

The course depth and study has been benchmarked at Level 3 against level descriptors published by Ofqual.

2. You will receive the Open Pathway Accreditation Diploma (OPA.dip) from Open Learning College.



Grading & How it Works

The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.

This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.

Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.

We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.

Embarking on the Child Psychology (Level 3) course has been an enlightening journey into the intricate world of childhood development. The modules, from The First Year of Life to Behaviour Modification, offer a comprehensive understanding of a child's cognitive, emotional, and social growth. As an educator, this course has not only expanded my knowledge but has also provided practical insights into creating a nurturing environment for children. The structure is accessible for beginners and professionals alike. Highly recommend for anyone passionate about understanding and supporting the psychology of children.
