Consultant Psychologist – Selection and Assessment

Work Psychology Group (WPG) is looking to recruit a Consultant Psychologist, to support our team in providing award winning and internationally recognised research-led occupational psychology consulting to clients across a range of sectors. We’re looking for someone with relevant client-facing experience in a consulting or internal role, with an interest, and ideally experience, in selection and assessment.

At WPG, we pride ourselves on our friendly and supportive culture. We are a passionate and highly skilled team, working together and in partnership with our clients to address their business needs and challenge them to think differently. We are a research-led consultancy, offering bespoke and sustainable solutions that are both evidence-based and practical, to enhance effectiveness, efficiency and fairness. In addition, we support our clients in researching and applying practical recommendations to address complex challenges, boost organisational performance and manage change, which is particularly relevant in the context of the emergence of AI at work. We are mindful of the impact that our work can have on society, and make a point of evaluating it carefully. We are therefore looking for team members who are interested in evidence-based practice, analysis and evaluation. As an organisation, we are proud that our work positively influences national policy changes and overall social impact; for example, our work in researching how to widen access to the professions.

The Consultant Psychologist role offers the potential for development and progression within an award-winning, growing and well-respected occupational psychology consultancy, while providing the opportunity to have a significant impact on client outcomes in high-stakes environments.

The role will involve:

Leading a range of client projects, from client initiation meetings right through to evaluation and debrief activity, utilising consultancy cycle skills.

You will be responsible for developing and maintaining effective client relationships throughout project delivery.

Contribution to core business areas, including engagement with the latest research and supporting business development activity. It will be important to engage with, and translate learnings from, emerging research (for example, in areas such as AI, neurodiversity, assessment of personal characteristics and the use of innovative methodologies), to your client solutions. You will support business development activity by engaging with clients and contacts, writing project proposals, scoping deliverables and proposing workable solutions in partnership with clients.

As a team we are based throughout the UK. We therefore offer home based working with quarterly, face-to-face, whole team meetings. Some UK-travel should be expected, in line with client requirements and business needs.

A proven track record (post Masters) in a relevant consultancy or internal role.

To work independently at pace, delivering high quality results, while maintaining high attention to detail.
Show initiative and transfer learnings from one setting to another.
