You’ll need to be comfortable reviewing clinical information, assessing treatment pathways and providing evidence-based recommendations, while confidently working with non‑clinical stakeholders and managing competing priorities.

This isn't a traditional treating position. It's an opportunity to take your clinical knowledge into a broader advisory capacity, influencing treatment quality and recovery outcomes without directly delivering psychological treatment.
