Psychologist / Therapist

About the Role

We are looking for a thoughtful, grounded psychologist who brings both clinical competence and personal humility to their work. This role is for someone who genuinely places client welfare above all else — a professional who knows what they know, acknowledges what they don't, and consistently acts within the bounds of their training and ethics.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's and Master's degree in Psychology from a recognised university

• 5+ years of hands-on clinical or therapeutic experience post-qualification

• RCI registration is a valued advantage

• Demonstrated understanding of documentation, referral processes, and professional record-keeping

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct individual therapy and psychological assessments within the scope of qualifications

• Perform basic risk screenings related to self-harm, suicidal ideation, abuse, neglect, or harm to others

• Recognise when to escalate, consult a supervisor, or refer to a higher level of care

• Uphold informed consent practices; ensure clients understand the nature, scope, and limits of services

• Maintain strict confidentiality in line with professional ethics

• Keep accurate, timely, and professional clinical records

• Observe clear professional boundaries with clients at all times

• Collaborate with colleagues, supervisors, and interdisciplinary teams

• Participate actively in clinical supervision and case consultations

What We Look For

Professional Ethics & Clinical Judgement

• Strong grounding in confidentiality, professional boundaries, informed consent, and referral ethics

• Ability to identify and respond appropriately to clinical and safeguarding concerns

• Comfort in saying "I don't know" and seeking guidance rather than overstepping

Self-Awareness & Accountability

• High degree of self-awareness and personal integrity

• Accountability for actions and outcomes; willingness to acknowledge mistakes and learn from them

• Genuine openness to feedback and supervision, without defensiveness

Interpersonal & Relational Qualities

• Empathy and genuine compassion for clients across diverse backgrounds

• Cultural sensitivity and non-judgmental care

• Reliable, consistent, and collaborative — someone colleagues can count on

• Client welfare as a lived value, not a talking point

Non-Negotiables

Respectful communication, empathy, cultural sensitivity, reliability, integrity, and genuine compassion are not optional. Neither is placing client welfare above personal ego.

This Role Is Not Right For You If…

• You are uncomfortable working within supervision structures or receiving feedback

• You prefer to work in silos rather than collaboratively

• You find it difficult to escalate, defer, or say "I'm not sure"
