A brand-new community service for children and young people is looking for a highly experienced Psychologist to join them as their Clinical Lead Psychologist, based on the historic Isle of Man.

This charity-led initiative aims to make it easier for young people on the Isle of Man to access preventative and early intervention therapies for mild-to-moderate mental health needs (alongside increasing awareness in schools, primary care centres and related settings), as well as streamlining the pathway to other services and support where appropriate – taking a more informal, integrated approach to mental health and welfare based on the THRIVE framework.

Right in the heart of the Irish sea, the Isle of Man itself has a distinctive Celtic ambiance with rugged coastal landscapes, a rich cultural heritage, and thriving arts and athletic scenes – perfect whether you enjoy historical study, creative pursuits, the great outdoors or community events in your downtime.

And, on the practical side, the Isle of Man is ranked one of the safest places to live across all the British Isles, offers a high quality of life with low tax burden, and has easy air and sea links to the rest of the UK and to Ireland.

As Clinical Lead Psychologist, you will lead a strong therapies team in shaping and implementing a high quality, innovative psychological service and represent it to the local community.
