About the Role

The Clinical Lead plays a pivotal role within the organisation, holding responsibility for clinical governance, risk management, and clinical decision-making.

Working predominantly remotely, with some travel across Inner London project locations, you will lead and support a dedicated team of clinical specialists and Honorary Assistant Psychologists delivering In Your Corner's innovative interventions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Providing clinical leadership and governance oversight across the organisation.
• Managing, mentoring and supervising clinical specialists and Assistant Psychologists.
• Delivering both individual and group clinical supervision.
• Overseeing referral management processes and project delivery.
• Supporting quality assurance, safeguarding and clinical decision-making.
• Working closely with the CEO and wider leadership team to support organisational development and service growth.

About You

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced and compassionate clinical leader who is passionate about improving mental health outcomes for young people. You will be excited by the chance to combine strategic leadership, clinical excellence and innovation within a growing organisation that is challenging traditional approaches to youth mental health support. Equally comfortable supporting staff, overseeing governance and contributing to organisational development, you'll be motivated by the opportunity to help shape services that create lasting impact for young Londoners and their families.

You will possess:

• A genuine commitment to improving outcomes for vulnerable young people.
• A post-graduate qualification and current professional registration in a core child mental health profession e.g. Clinical Psychology (D. Clin. Psych), Counselling Psychology (DPsych), or Senior Psychotherapist (BABCP or BACP).
• Robust knowledge of theory and research that underpins working with adolescents with complex mental health difficulties, including those who have experienced trauma, adversity, and social exclusion.
• Strong organisational and planning skills - this role involves managing competing priorities across a varied workload.
• Line Management experience - supporting clinicians, conducting performance reviews and support with recruitment.
• Clinical governance skills, including clinical supervision, safeguarding, risk management and quality assurance.
• Excellent data management and analysis skills.
• A high degree of autonomy and self-direction is essential.
