Lead Psychologist

Ready to lead, influence, and shape psychologically informed care?

A highly respected, values-driven health and social care provider is seeking an experienced Lead Psychologist to join its senior clinical team.

This organisation is recognised for delivering specialist, trauma-informed services to individuals with complex needs, using evidence-based models that prioritise recovery, dignity, and long-term outcomes.

Flexible working hours are available to support a healthy work–life balance.
