The post holder will work closely and collaboratively with the CEO, Board of Trustees, and Senior Leadership Group (SLG) playing a key role in shaping, developing and delivering our business plan and strategic objectives ensuring that equality, diversity and inclusion is embedded and woven into the heart of everything we do both internally and externally.

The Clinical Director will have a significant role in creating and developing strong partnership working relationships and networks with a range of local partners and stakeholders and be part of the provider collaborative/Integrated Care System (ICS).

It is a great time to join us as in April 2024 we formed a partnership with Bromley CAMHS and now provide an integrated single point of access for CYP in the Bromley Borough. The successful candidate will play a vital role in developing the integrated single point of access (iSPA) so that key performance indicators are met. We are also going through a structure change and preparing for a review of our contract in 2026.

This role will provide an excellent opportunity to shape our two main contracts, MHEWS and MHST as well as taking responsibility for effective clinical governance and quality improvement. The Clinical Director will carry a small caseload working with CYP who do not meet the criteria for CAMHS but equally do not fit into the early intervention remit.

We know that working in emotional and mental health services can be difficult and we are aware of the importance of looking after ourselves and each other. We strive to create a working environment that is supportive and inclusive, encourages talent and recognises and nurtures the strengths we can all bring to the work that we do. We have a strong commitment to clinical and managerial supervision, training, and development.
