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.

● Incident Investigation: Lead clinical reviews of any incidents or complaints, identifying root causes and making recommendations for service improvement.
