I have qualified with international qualifications and want to work in the UK. How do I do this?
Therefore, you would need to apply to join their register if you wish to practice using one of their specialist titles, e.g. Clinical Psychologist, Counselling Psychologist.
The society doesn't set employment criteria, this would be down to the individual employer and the requirements of the role advertised.
You may also find that society membership provides a useful platform to familiarise yourself with the practice of psychology in the UK as we offer a number of benefits and services within each of our membership grades.
