Clinical Governance Lead (Psychologist)
Company: Mind Right

Reporting to: Clinical Director
Overview
Mind Right is expanding its clinical governance team. We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Clinical Psychologist to join our team. This is a part time role of 20 hours per week (4 hours per day) to serve as a clinical and ethical safety net for our mental health services. This is a high-level governance role designed for senior clinicians who prefer clinical oversight, risk management, and supervision over high-volume treatment delivery.

● Internal Escalation Point: Act as the primary consultant for staff and network clinicians on clinical matters, diagnostic uncertainty, or ethical dilemmas. You will provide the final word on clinical direction for complex cases.
● Liaison and Coordination: Lead the coordination of care for complex cases that require communication with GPs, crisis teams, or statutory services.
● Quality Assurance and Audit: Conduct regular audits of clinical notes and supervision records to ensure adherence to NICE guidelines and internal protocols.
● Incident Investigation: Lead clinical reviews of any incidents or complaints, identifying root causes and making recommendations for service improvement.
● Digital Safety Consultation: Provide clinical input to the product team to ensure that digital triage and automated user journeys remain clinically robust.
● Outcome Monitoring: Objectively track patient progress, monitoring performance indicators and evaluating treatment effectiveness
● Service Improvement: using all available data assist in identifying best practices, assessing effectiveness of the services and service development initiatives
● Meetings and Events: represent psychological services at management forums and customer reviews.
