The role As a Principal Clinical/Counselling Psychologist (Wellbeing), you’ll provide expert advice and support to colleagues operating in complex, risk-based roles. You’ll deliver consultations focussed on vulnerability, resilience and risk, and carry out direct and indirect clinical assessments drawing on psychometrics, interviews and clinical observations, where appropriate. This is a rewarding and influential role where you’ll be responsible for multi-disciplinary work with wide-reaching impact. You might be undertaking collaborative health surveillance and impact monitoring, offering wellbeing consultations to corporate teams, or highlighting the psychological aspects of complex casework to business partners. This includes offering reflective practice to colleagues managing high-risk roles. You’ll also oversee the delivery of specialist clinical interventions, including risk management and trauma work.

You don’t need any experience of working in government, intelligence or security, but you will have previously worked in a multidisciplinary team setting delivering training and have extensive post-qualification experience working with young adult or adult clinical populations. You’ll bring proven expertise in conducting psychological assessments and have developed and delivered training to psychology and non-psychology colleagues. As an effective communicator who can influence and challenge with sensitivity, you’ll deliver clinical advice and consultation and provide clear and concise reports and documentation. And you’ll have expertise in psychometric testing, formulation and risk assessment. Plus, you’ll be committed to your continuous professional development and stay updated with relevant clinical and research findings.
