    I know someone recently qualified, depending on drips and drabs of volunteer work for various charities in the hope of some day maybe eventually getting a job with the HSE. Is there a huge surplus of psychologists around and very few paid jobs?

    The psychologists i know tell me you can't get a job without a post graduate qualification BUT the only reason i met them was that they were working in a different field due to not being able to get a job without a post graduate qualification, so there is massive selection bias there. If they'd managed to get a job in psychology I wouldn't have met them

    Most (maybe all) hse clinical psychologists have a PhD. Does your friend have a PhD or just a bachelors/masters?
