SPY chiefs are seeking senior wellbeing advisers to help traumatised spies.
The £38,647 roles are full or part-time, with a day working from home.

Successful applicants will deal with crisis calls from 007s battling terror, cyber and other threats.
They will work with psychologists, counsellors, and occupational health nurses to ensure troubled spooks do not crumble.
Bosses at MI5, MI6 and GCHQ want the mental health experts for offices in London, Manchester and Cheltenham.
The role also involves joining an on call rota one week in every eight to deal with “crisis calls” from James Bond-style agents routed through the MI5 switchboard.
Earlier this month, we told how spymasters were advertising for geeks to help build the next generation of gadgetry.
The roles mirror that of Q, played by Ben Whishaw on screen.
Vacancies being advertised online included a £56,874 Product Manager, a £48,104 Product Owner and Senior Innovation Product Manager at £62,592.
And in April it was reported MI5 bosses were trying to recruit handymen to apply to do jobs on Bond-style missions.
Potential applicants were told the secret service’s chippies and plasterers would help battle Britain’s terror threat and “keep the country safe”.
