Job description

Full-time, permanent | c£42,000 | Remote, UK-based | Rotational shifts including evenings, weekends and overnight work

 

Be there in the moments that matter most

We're looking for an experienced, compassionate and clinically confident Senior Psychological Therapist to join our growing Crisis Line team.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the frontline of crisis care, supporting members of the fire services community through some of their most difficult moments and helping them find a path forward. As a senior practitioner, you'll use your expertise to assess complex presentations, manage significant risk and provide immediate psychological support when it matters most.

About the role

As a Senior Psychological Therapist (Crisis Line), you will respond to individuals experiencing acute emotional distress, suicidal ideation, self-harm risk and other urgent mental health crises. Working remotely as part of a rotational shift pattern, you'll provide calm, focused and compassionate support through telephone, online chat and digital platforms.

Using advanced clinical skills and evidence-based approaches, you will assess risk, formulate safe and effective interventions, and support individuals to move from crisis towards safety and stability.

You will:

  • Provide autonomous crisis assessment and immediate psychological intervention for people presenting with complex or escalating risk
  • Conduct structured risk assessments and respond to suicide risk, safeguarding concerns and urgent mental health needs
  • Develop collaborative safety and risk management plans
  • Deliver support through telephone, online chat and digital platforms
  • Contribute to clinical decision-making, escalation processes and safeguarding responses
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues and external partners to support effective care pathways
  • Maintain accurate, timely and high-quality clinical records
  • Participate in supervision, reflective practice, service development and continuing professional development

About you

You will hold a Level 5/6 qualification in psychological therapy, counselling, psychotherapy or a related discipline, or have equivalent professional experience, alongside registration with a relevant professional body such as HCPC, BACP, BABCP or UKCP.

You will bring significant experience of supporting people experiencing emotional distress, crisis or complex mental health needs, with strong skills in risk assessment, safeguarding and brief psychological intervention.

We're particularly interested in people who can remain calm and effective under pressure, make sound autonomous clinical decisions, communicate with compassion and clarity, and work confidently within structured clinical frameworks in a remote, shift-based service.

Experience in crisis helplines, acute mental health services, emergency services, suicide prevention, trauma-informed practice or digital service delivery would be an advantage.

Working arrangements

This is a fully remote, UK-based role delivered through a rotational shift pattern, including evenings, weekends and overnight working.

The role includes participation in the senior clinical escalation on-call rota, with a requirement to provide a minimum of six weeks of cover each year.

Occasional national travel may be required.

Due to the nature of the role, enhanced safeguarding checks will be undertaken.

Our commitment

Fire Fighters Charity is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. We are working to build a culture and environment where everyone in our community feels welcome, accepted, respected and that they belong.

We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives, and reasonable adjustments will be considered where appropriate.

Closing date: 19 July 2026

Selection Process

The selection process will be a two-stage process.

First-stage interviews will take place via video call during the week commencing 27 July 2026.

Second-stage interviews will be held in person during the week commencing 3 August 2026.

Ready to apply

If you are motivated by making a meaningful difference to people at moments of crisis, and you have the clinical expertise, resilience and values to thrive in this role, we would welcome your application. Click apply to submit a CV and a covering letter.

Join us and help ensure that no member of our fire services community faces crisis alone.
