About us
Mantle Psychology is a leading provider of mental health and neurodevelopmental services based in Yorkshire and Derbyshire. We are driven by our values, which include:
· Providing the right services at the right time to our clients, being with them on their journey and customising our services to their needs.
· Growing our services slowly and sustainably, always prioritising quality above all else.
· Ensuring that we have a vibrant workplace where everyone supports each other.
We are growing. We currently have four clinics in West Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Knaresborough and Beverley, and hold a range of exciting public and private contracts which support our continued development. As our services evolve, our focus is increasingly on delivering holistic, needs-led support that extends far beyond diagnosis, helping children, young people and families access meaningful interventions and ongoing therapeutic care.
About the role
We are seeking a Clinical Lead (Clinical Psychologist) to lead the continued development and expansion of our assessment, therapy and post-diagnostic support services across our Knaresborough and Beverley clinics.

You will provide leadership to a multidisciplinary team, help shape innovative and responsive services, and work closely with senior leaders to develop and expand our offer. While a strong understanding of neurodevelopmental assessment pathways is important, the primary focus of the role is on translating clinical understanding into meaningful support, intervention and positive outcomes.
