About the Role

As a Clinical Lead at Mindplace, you will play a pivotal role in shaping how multidisciplinary mental health care is delivered.  This is a hands-on leadership role that combines clinical excellence with team leadership, governance and day-to-day clinical oversight.

• Act as the senior clinical escalation point for complex presentations, risk management and ethical decision-making
• Maintain an active caseload, delivering individual, group and hybrid (in-person and telehealth) care
• Provide clinical supervision, mentorship and support to clinicians across the MDT
• Partner closely with Operations and the Clinical Director to embed the Mindplace Model of Care and support clinic performance
• Uphold clinical governance standards, quality improvement initiatives and professional compliance
