Psychology Services Group are recruiting senior psychologists to join the expanding National Security Division (NSD) Psychology team, within the Directorate of Security (DoS) to contribute to the provision of psychological services. The NSD (within the National Probation Service) provides an enhanced level of management and intervention for the most high-risk, complex and high-profile offenders in the community. The NSD is based across five geographical units (Wales/SW, Midlands, North, London/KSS and East/South Central), and currently each unit has a Senior Psychologist allocated to the team.
