Summary

We are looking to welcome three new Work Psychologists to the DWP Work Psychology Service, joining a vibrant and diverse community of nearly 100 practitioners who make a real difference every day.

As a Work Psychologist, you will use evidence‑based occupational psychology tools and techniques to support DWP ‘customers’ (people receiving benefits through Jobcentre services) to move closer to and into employment. Many of the customers you will work with live with health conditions, disabilities, or other significant challenges that can make accessing work more difficult. You will make a positive impact through one‑to‑one assessments and group-based interventions with customers, and by building the capability of Jobcentre colleagues to apply psychological principles in their work. You will have the opportunity to transform the lives of those who often find themselves marginalised from employment and wider society.
