Psychology Graduate Permanent NEW

Psychology graduate? Looking for a career where you can put your degree to good use and genuinely make a difference?

Perhaps you’ve gained experience supporting people to achieve goals through teaching, mentoring, support work or resettlement.

Or maybe you’ve worked in sales, recruitment or another target-driven environment but want a career with more purpose.

This could be a brilliant opportunity.

We’re recruiting for a huge, well-established charity helping people with mental health support needs and neurodivergent individuals find meaningful employment.

Why is this a great opportunity?

• You’ll apply your understanding of psychology, motivation and human behaviour while receiving comprehensive training in Individual Placement and Support (IPS), an internationally recognised, evidence-based employment support model used within mental health services.
• You’ll work alongside mental health professionals, gaining valuable experience in a clinically informed approach to supporting people.
• The training is excellent, and people we’ve placed here genuinely love it. With an organisation this size, there are brilliant opportunities for career progression.

What’s the job?

There are two opportunities in Brent, one supporting people with mental health needs and another supporting neurodivergent jobseekers.

You’ll manage a caseload of 14–18 people, helping them achieve their employment goals.

You’ll work across NHS sites, Job Centres and community venues, while building relationships with employers to create job opportunities.

What are we looking for?

Psychology graduates with experience in either:

• Supporting people to achieve goals (teaching, mentoring, support work, resettlement or similar).
• Sales, recruitment or another target-driven environment.

You’ll need strong communication skills, organisation and confidence working independently. Full training is provided.

Salary: £32,500–£36,000 depending on experience.
Location: Brent, North West London.
