EPIC Careers
EPIC is a service which believes in creating developmental opportunities for aspiring educational psychologists. As such, we offer a continuum of opportunities from voluntary undergraduate and graduate positions, graduate opportunities in the form of Assistant Psychologist paid positions as well as providing placements for Trainee Educational Psychologists. Typically our assistants, after a few years of experience with us, apply for the doctoral training in educational psychology. Currently we have four exassistants on doctoral programmes or are now qualified educational psychologists.
The long-term vision is to add to the national pool of highly skilled psychologists as well as ensuring EPIC is a sustainable service.
