Job summary

About us

MI5 keeps the country safe from serious threats like terrorism and attempts by states to harm the UK, its people, and way of life. We carry out investigations by obtaining, analysing, and assessing intelligence, and then work with a range of partners, including MI6 and GCHQ, to disrupt these threats. Through our protective security arm, we provide advice and guidance to government, businesses, and other organisations on how to keep themselves safe. A role in MI5 means you'll do unique and challenging work in a supportive and encouraging environment, making a real difference to UK national security.

Job description

The role

As a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, youll lead the strategic development and delivery of psychological services within the Health and Wellbeing Team. Working in a multidisciplinary environment, youll ensure services are clinically robust, ethically sound, and aligned to organisational priorities.

This is a senior leadership position where youll shape how psychological support is embedded across the service. Youll lead strategy, policy and clinical pathways, and provide expert consultation in high-risk or sensitive situations, including contributing to cultural improvement and organisational resilience. Youll represent psychology and wellbeing at senior and critical meetings, contributing to decision-making where risk, resilience and wellbeing intersect. Drawing on your expertise, youll help shape organisational processes as the focus shifts from individual interventions to innovative, preventative approaches that strengthen resilience across teams and the wider organisation.

Alongside this, youll manage and develop a team of clinical psychologists, providing supervision, mentoring and professional leadership, as well as line management responsibilities. Youll also support training, development and partnership working, ensuring continuous enhancement of capability across the service. In addition, youll oversee clinical governance and quality assurance to maintain consistent standards across service delivery.

Your work will span both direct and indirect clinical practice across individuals and teams. This includes delivering specialist interventions, reflective practice and wellbeing support, alongside in-depth assessments and consultation on complex and high-risk cases. Youll contribute to multidisciplinary team working, including case discussions and supervision, while working with stakeholders across the organisation and wider intelligence community to ensure integrated and effective services.

A varied portfolio spans support to individuals and teams in challenging environments, alongside contributions to work on risk, resilience, trauma and wellbeing. Activity operates across both strategic and clinical levels, shaping organisational culture and capability in dynamic contexts where priorities shift. This is a highly evolving role, requiring comfort with ambiguity and the ability to work effectively in less structured environments, applying expertise to drive innovation, population-level approaches to wellbeing and organisational resilience.

Person specification

About you

You hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (or equivalent) and current HCPC registration, with significant post-qualification experience at senior level within complex organisational environments.

Extensive expertise in assessment, formulation and intervention underpins your practice, including experience of high-risk and sensitive cases. You deliver specialist psychological interventions, provide expert consultation and second opinions, and utilise a range of assessment tools. You have extensive experience in line management and supervision of other psychologists, alongside providing professional leadership across teams. Your contributions to service development, clinical pathway design and governance have led to measurable improvements in service quality effectiveness and outcomes.

Influencing senior stakeholders is a core part of your skillset, as is building and maintaining strategic partnerships and translating psychological insight clearly for non-specialist audiences. Youre comfortable in environments where priorities shift and structures are evolving bringing sound judgement and a proactive, system-level approach. A deep sense of professional integrity and a genuine commitment to improving wellbeing underpin everything you do.

Benefits

Training and development

A structured induction will introduce you to the organisation, the Health and Wellbeing Team, and the wider intelligence community, giving you the context needed to deliver psychological services and understand your roles impact in a complex environment.

Development is flexible and evolves all the time, supporting non-linear career pathways tailored to your experience, interests and aspirations. A comprehensive onboarding process ensures you are well supported from the outset, with continued professional development embedded throughout your career.

Development here is shaped through practice, leadership and organisational engagement, offering variety, unpredictability and opportunities for strategic influence. Clinical supervision, peer networks and multidisciplinary collaboration provide a robust professional foundation. Access to in-house and external training supports your development in areas such as risk, resilience and trauma, keeping your expertise up to date with organisational priorities and emerging needs.

Rewards and benefits

Youll receive a starting salary of £78,270 plus other benefits, including:

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

Equal opportunities

At MI5, diversity and inclusion are critical to our mission. To protect the UK, we need a truly diverse workforce that reflects the society we serve. This includes diversity in every sense of the word: those with different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, ways of thinking, and those with disabilities or neurodivergent conditions. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from everyone, including those from groups that are under-represented in our workforce, such as women, people from ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities, and those from low socio-economic backgrounds.

Find out more about our culture, working environment and commitment to diversity on our website.

MI5 is proud to have achieved Leader status within the Department for Work and Pensions Disability Confident scheme.

Being Disability Confident, we aim to offer a fair and proportionate number of person-to-person interviews to any candidate who self-identifies as disabled and meets the essential criteria for the role. This is our Offer of Interview (OOI). To secure an interview for this vacancy, the essential criteria (in order of application process) are:

You'll be required to reach the minimum pass mark for the online Situational Judgement Test (SJT), which assesses criteria important for all roles in our organisation
Have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology or equivalent (accredited by BPS)
