Milton Keynes City Council is hosting a first of its kind event to raise awareness of educational psychology as a career path.
The free to attend event is happening at the City Council’s Civic office on Thursday 23 January between 3:30pm and 5:30pm. Visitors will have the chance to meet some of the City Council’s specialist team, ask questions and learn more about the roles on offer.
The Educational Psychology Service works with children and young people aged 0 to 25 years alongside their families, educational settings and other professionals. After assessing an individual, the team provides ideas and strategies to help them progress at school and at home.
They also deliver training and create tools and resources for children who have specific challenges such as emotionally based school avoidance.
The event will cover all aspects of the role, the process for applying and the support available. To register your interest in attending, please email education.psychology@milton-keynes.gov.uk
