The British Psychological Society

Who we are

We are the British Psychological Society

For more than 120 years, we have championed psychology, psychologists and the wider psychological professions, supporting our members through every stage of their careers.

Psychology affects all aspects of our everyday lives, from government policy to the advertising you see on TV. And with the demand for psychology services growing, so is our community.

We have more than 60,000 members - all of whom share a passion for psychology, and its impact on individuals and society.

Support

The BPS gives our members the tools and resources to enhance their careers, with the latest psychological research, CPD opportunities and tailored events.

Advocate

We're a forward-facing voice that speaks up for psychology and psychologists. Our work, and the work of our members, helps to influence and develop a psychological approach to policy-making that puts people first.

Connect

Community is at the heart of everything we do and that's why our networking opportunities are so vast. We make it easy to connect and collaborate with other members.

Our culture and values

Our membership is diverse, but we all share a passion for psychology and the impact it has on individuals and society. Our mission is 'Building a world where psychology transforms lives’.

Our four shared values are placed at the heart of our culture, helping the BPS to unite the psychological community and deliver more for our members: 'TOGETHER we are OPEN and WILLING with an aspiration for EXCELLENCE’

We offer hybrid working, where you can blend your working time between office and remote working.  Most, but not all staff, live close to either our London or Leicester offices.  Full-time hours are 35 per week, Monday-Friday.  We offer flexible and part-time working patterns and encourage a healthy work-life balance.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed to a culture of equality, diversity and inclusion. By fostering an inclusive culture, welcoming individual differences and committing to embed equality and diversity into all of our activities, we aim to ensure that everyone is treated equally, without discrimination and is able to reach their full potential without barriers.
