Are you an experienced forensic psychologist with a passion for transformative rehabilitation? At Serco, we’re looking for a Senior Forensic Psychologist to support and drive our Therapeutic Community at HMP Dovegate.
HMP Dovegate is a Category B male establishment based on the Staffordshire/Derbyshire border near Uttoxeter. The operational capacity for the prison is 1100 prisoners who are serving a range of sentences including remand; those awaiting sentence and convicted men serving sentences up to life in prison. Joining our onsite team, you’ll play a key role in delivering psychological services to our residents.
The Therapeutic Community is a unique role, offering the opportunity to work with long term prisoners who are engaged in therapy to reduce their risk of re-offending.

As part of our dedicated and collaborative team, you’ll be entrusted to deliver comprehensive psychological assessments, formulate effective interventions, provide expert consultancy and act as a professional witness in formal settings, while also playing a key role in the Rehabilitative Culture strategy. Maintaining high standards of documentation and compliance will be a must at all times.
Join a place you can grow
We pride ourselves on a culture of support and growth, where professional excellence is central to our work. Here, you’ll lead and guide a clinical team, including Forensic Psychologists in Training (FPiTs), while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and excellence. We’re dedicated to supporting your career, providing the resources and encouragement you need to thrive. So let us know your aspirations, and we’ll be with you every step of the way, creating an environment where both you and your team can grow and succeed together.
