Summary
EPUT has a strong track record of supporting Psychology graduates in their development and training within the psychological professions. We host Clinical Psychology trainees from both the University of Essex and the University of Hertfordshire, and we also run a Clinical Associate in Psychology (CAP) training programme. The Trust has a vibrant and active Diversity & Inclusion Committee with an Ethnic Minority and Race Equality Network, along with LGBTQ+, Disability, Faith and Carers Networks. Our Psychological Services Directorate has an Anti-Racism group that provides open dialogue, support and allyship, along with an active pre-qualification group of aspiring psychologists who offer an environment of peer support and learning. If you are enthusiastic, self-motivated and committed to a career delivering high quality psychological care to service users we would like to hear from you. We are specifically seeking applicants who are familiar with, and committed to living and working in, the geographic area served by the Trust (Essex). We particularly encourage applications from those who come from less advantaged and minoritised backgrounds and for whom access to experience and further training in the psychological professions may be hindered by social or economic circumstances. Applicants should tell us how they meet these criteria in their application forms.
