We’re looking for a forward-thinking Principal Psychologist to join a national neurorehabilitation service working with individuals in the criminal justice system.

  • Contribute to strategic growth, clinical governance, and national awareness
  • Represent the service at conferences, in publications, and across sectors
  • Provide expert clinical consultation and guide best practice within the organisation
  • Develop policy and innovation within a neurorehabilitation framework

  • HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist with QiCN or equivalent route
  • Postgraduate training in Neuropsychology (e.g. PG Dip)
  • Strong background in brain injury rehabilitation
  • Significant experience supervising qualified psychologists or clinicians
  • Confident in developing strategy, policy, and service innovation
  • A collaborative leader, passionate about equity and social change

What’s On Offer

  • Competitive salary: £62,215 – £72,293 per annum DOE (FTE)
  • 38 days annual leave (inclusive of bank holidays)
  • Buy/sell up to 5 days AL each year

  • Group Life Assurance
  • Company pension
  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
  • Excellent CPD and leadership training
  • Eye care vouchers
  • Free parking (where applicable)
  • Staff awards and long service recognition

This is more than a clinical role — it’s a chance to influence real change and make rehabilitation more accessible for some of society’s most underserved individuals.
