London, Greater London, United Kingdom MI5. Full time

About Us
MI5 and MI6 are part of the UK's Intelligence Services. We work together to safeguard Britain's people, interests and businesses from various threats at home, overseas and online, including cyber-attacks, espionage, terrorism, and organised crime. Working across our vital missions, you'll deliver impact at the heart of national security, all within a supportive and inclusive environment that allows everyone to thrive.

The Role
We're currently looking for a number of enthusiastic and experienced Principal Clinical/Counselling Psychologists to join MI5 and MI6. While you'll be doing a role you know well, the context will be unlike any other. You'll provide advice related to risk and resilience in multiple contexts, supporting individuals and teams who deliver impact at the heart of national security.

You'll be committed to rigorous ethical and professional guidelines, working on projects that will be familiar in method, but unique in content, such as risk assessment and risk management, mental health and wellbeing. Every day will be varied as you support colleagues preparing to work in high-risk areas and deliver training sessions to stakeholders.

Consultation to teams, including Personnel Security, Occupational Health, Employee Assistance/Health & Wellbeing, on psychological aspects of staff security and wellbeing issues, including complex casework.Development, delivery, and evaluation of psychologically informed training sessions.Engagement with the wider behavioural and social science community (nationally and internationally) to facilitate sharing of ideas and skills.Participation in small-scale research and audit projects to inform and develop best-practice approaches.Adherence to local policies and procedures, clinical governance processes, and professional practice guidelines.

Occasional travel between UK agency sites should be expected. There may also be some opportunities to travel overseas. p>

About you
Essential criteria include a master's or doctorate in Clinical/Counselling Psychology (or equivalent for charterships with BPS) and registration with the Health and Care Professions Council, as well as post-qualification experience of working as a Clinical/Counselling Psychologist. p>

You'll have knowledge of professional ethics and risk frameworks and you'll work with a high level of integrity and with a clear commitment to inclusion. You'll also be comfortable working autonomously on clinical assessments, risk assessments, and management plans, and supporting decision making.

The ability to translate complex information to a non-specialist audience - you'll provide clear, compelling information to non-psychologists tasked with making decisions in high-risk and complex situations.Credibility and enthusiasm for your profession - you'll be an advocate for practitioner psychology and the impact it can have on key mission areas.A commitment to learning and development - you'll draw on the wider behavioural and social science community to share knowledge and ideas.

Please do not deselect yourself if you feel you do not have any direct experience working in Government, Intelligence or Security. If you're a competent Clinical/Counselling Psychologist, with strong formulation, risk assessment, and interpersonal skills, we're keen to receive your application.

Training and Development
At MI5 and MI6, we're proud of our inclusive and supportive working environment, which is designed to encourage open minds and attitudes. As organisations that value and nurture talent, we're committed to helping you fulfil your potential. You'll be supported to work out what you'll need to fill in any knowledge gaps, make sure you're trained in the organisational basics, and set your performance goals. p>

As your career progresses, there will be a wide range of in-house and external opportunities for personal and professional development. Training and development in specialist skills related to the role is actively supported, and there are frequent continued professional development (CPD) opportunities. Peer supervision, with ethical practice reflection, is embedded within the team. p>
