About the job

Job summary

As Head of Corporate Psychology, youll set the long-term strategic direction and lead the delivery and continuous development of corporate psychology services, supporting the organisation through a period of growth and consolidation. Youll ensure services effectively enable organisational performance, people and priorities, operating at a senior level to provide expert psychological advice and assurance to leaders navigating complex organisational and workforce challenges.

This is a high-profile leadership role, where youll shape how psychological expertise is applied across areas such as vetting, wellbeing and recruitment. Working across multiple systems and agencies, youll engage and influence senior internal and external stakeholders, building strong relationships to support effective decision-making. Youll operate within a fast-paced, often unpredictable environment, ensuring that practice remains responsive, proportionate and aligned with organisational risk.

Job description

Operating with a high degree of autonomy, youll lead a small team of specialist practitioner psychologists, providing coaching, professional leadership, ethical oversight and development. Accountability includes maintaining professional standards and ensuring the quality and impact of services, driving continuous improvement and compliant delivery across all areas of practice.

Day to day, youll contribute to complex, risk-based decision making, where ambiguity and uncertainty are common. This includes consultation on sensitive cases involving risk, security and staff wellbeing, applying sound judgement in challenging situations. Effective influencing skills, adaptability and the ability to build trust are critical to success.

The scope of the role is broad, unique and highly stimulating, spanning strategic leadership, professional oversight and stakeholder engagement. As part of the wider senior leadership community, this role is pivotal in strengthening organisational capability, driving significant organisational impact, and shaping the ongoing evolution of corporate psychology in response to emerging challenges.

Person specification

You bring significant experience as a practitioner psychologist, applying psychological expertise within complex organisational environments. As an HCPC- registered Practitioner Psychologist, with a background in Clinical (Doctorate or equivalent) or Occupational Psychology, you operate with confidence and credibility at a senior level.

This is underpinned by extensive post-registration experience, gained at Consultant (Clinical) or Principal (Occupational) level, alongside experience leading services, functions or programmes of work. You understand how to apply psychological expertise across organisational settings, whether through assessment, consultancy, intervention or service development, and are comfortable taking responsibility for high-impact, sensitive areas of work.

Youre an experienced leader, able to provide both professional and operational direction to specialist teams. Confident in managing and developing senior practitioners, you maintain high professional standards while supporting others to grow and succeed. Youre also comfortable representing your function internally and externally, acting as a credible and authoritative voice for psychology, with significant organisational influence.

With refined consultancy and influencing skills, you build effective relationships and advise senior stakeholders on complex, often sensitive issues. You balance professional rigour with pragmatism, applying evidence-based approaches while remaining responsive to organisational priorities and constraints.

Youre adaptable and thoughtful in your approach, able to operate effectively in environments shaped by uncertainty, change and competing demands. You exercise sound judgement, particularly where work involves risk, security or staff wellbeing, maintaining a firm commitment to professional ethics, integrity and continuous improvement.

You demonstrate a clear commitment to promoting equity, inclusion and diversity through your leadership and professional practice, fostering an inclusive and respectful working environment.

Benefits

Training and development

Were committed to supporting your ongoing development as a senior practitioner and leader, helping you sustain high-quality, ethical practice within a complex and evolving organisational environment. On joining, youll receive a structured induction to the organisation and your team, giving you a clear understanding of how corporate psychology contributes to our mission.

We offer access to a range of continuing professional development opportunities aligned to advanced practice and leadership. This includes peer networks, professional supervision where appropriate, and opportunities to connect with other psychology and behavioural science specialists across the organisation and the wider intelligence community.

At this level, development is largely shaped through practice. Building expertise comes through leading strategic initiatives, advising senior stakeholders and helping to shape the future direction of corporate psychology. A key part of the role also involves developing others, supporting the growth of practitioner psychologists and strengthening capability across the function.

Youll be encouraged to maintain your professional registration and stay current with evolving research, standards and best practice. Development may include specialist training, leadership programmes, and opportunities to contribute to cross-government or external professional forums.

Progression at this level may be more limited in traditional terms, but there is potential to move into broader leadership roles over time. Future development pathways are continuing to evolve, reflecting both organisational need and the expanding role of psychology within this context.

Rewards and benefits

Youll receive a starting salary of £86,795 to £99,529, plus other benefits including:

25 days annual leave, rising automatically to 30 days after 5 years' service, and an additional 10.5 days of public and privilege holidays. Previous NHS service will be recognised
opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme
an interest-free season ticket loan
an excellent pension scheme
a cycle to work scheme
facilities such as a gym, restaurant, and on-site coffee bars at some locations
paid parental and adoption leave
