We believe that building software is more about people, team culture and end-user needs than it is about algorithms, data structures, and the choice of technologies. We're looking for somebody who is ambitious and is genuinely excited about what well-built software, supported by AI agents, can achieve in the complex space we work in.
Thalamos operates a series of products which, when combined, offer unified workflows across the NHS, social care, police and wider organisations to support those subject to the Mental Health Act. Together, these products support assessment, care and treatment in complex environments, while generating rich pathway data across a region. We want to leverage this infrastructure to expand the number of patients we can help when organisations can join up effectively and frontline staff are supported to work efficiently.

Thalamos is a profit-for-purpose business which builds and deploys software to improve outcomes in the assessment and treatment of Mental Illness. We support the professional users of our clients to co-ordinate urgent care across organisations and geographies: we build intuitive joined-up solutions for complex and disparate medico-legal pathways. Our Mental Health Act workflow software is currently in use in multiple Mental Health trusts in the NHS, across London by the Metropolitan Police, and nationally by the CQC. In 2024 we expanded our reach even further, including implementing a Pan-London NHS programme and we're now scaling our health, social care and police offerings.
Thalamos is values-driven in how it approaches recruitment as we believe this is the way to get the highest possible performance out of our team. We consider values to be equally important as skills and experience. We believe it is important to have fun and enjoy what we are doing, whilst also holding ourselves to a high level of professionalism.
We are looking for people who:
- align with our values
- care deeply about the culture of the team they work in
- are motivated to be present in our SE1 office in person at least three days a week
Our Values
Ambition
Motivated to constantly improve, professionally & personally. Not willing to accept the status quo and always seeking to identify ways to make things better. Willing to take on problems with no clear answer, even if the path forward is unclear. Able to define success and driven to achieve it.
Authenticity
Honesty and humility regarding yourself and your abilities. A level of introspection such that you are able to recognise your own drivers, motivators and “blind spots”. A level of confidence that allows you to understand your strengths, but also your weaknesses and areas where you need support from your team.
Ability to “be yourself” irrespective of who you are communicating with, whether that is the most senior or junior person internally or externally .
Social Impact
A genuine interest in identifying ways to improve things for other people. An implicit understanding that lasting and meaningful change is best achieved by delivering tangible outcomes.
Getting the Job Done
A willingness to take responsibility, solve problems, navigate complexity and find a way to achieve a shared goal. Motivated by defined goals and can be creative in ways to reach them. Willing to be selfless and places more importance on achieving the goal than personal recognition.
High Performance Team
Places the success of the team above the success of an individual. Invests time in colleagues and understands that the highest performing teams consist of people with different skills and attributes. Approaches challenges without ego, is pragmatic where improvements are required and continually works to build communication and trust amongst colleagues. Respects other people’s time, views and experiences.
We're an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or parental status, national origin, veteran, neurodiversity status or disability status.
