Deputy Clinical Lead

Ealing Talking Therapies is a very successful service but we want to ensure that our effective treatments are accessible to the entire community, including those from BAME groups. We would therefore be delighted to receive applications from clinicians who are interested in service development with the BAME community and supporting the service in increasing diversity more broadly.

This key role involves working closely with the Talking Therapies Clinical Lead and the other Deputy Clinical Lead, in order to deliver an excellent and innovative service. The successful applicant will benefit from working in an exciting and supportive team and there is significant scope to lead on areas of service development and flexibility to pursue specific areas of interest.

We are looking for someone who excels as a clinician and leader and who relishes a challenging and diverse role. Successful candidates will have exceptional interpersonal and clinical skills and will demonstrate a commitment to continued service development and quality improvement. You will have experience in the operational management of an Talking Therapies service, a proven track record of Talking Therapies line management and performance management, a detailed understanding of the Talking Therapies key performance indicators, the ability to deliver a high volume and high quality clinical service, a good understanding of all aspects of clinical governance and a firm commitment to the promotion of staff wellbeing.
