Hi
Should the EPB engage automatically when I come to a stop, select P and turn off the ignition?

Certainly not
Engaging "P" is purely like putting your automatic gear box in "Park."
You have to manually apply, and release, your electric parking brake to get the brake to function.
And don't just leave the car in "park" all the time without using the electric parking brake occasionally. If you do, the mechanism will seize, the car will fail it's next MoT and you'll be looking at several hundred quid to fix it.
