Are you a highly experienced leader and clinician with a passion for improving the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people? Do you have the insight, and vision to lead a pioneering, multi-disciplinary service while ensuring the highest standards of clinical practice, governance, and safety?
If the answer is 'yes', then this is an exciting opportunity for you.

You will work closely with multi-disciplinary teams, commissioners, schools, and community partners to drive innovation, integration, and service improvement across Kent.
As Clinical Lead, you will champion co-produced, needs-led approaches, supporting staff through supervision, reflective practice, and training, while promoting continuous quality improvement. You will oversee clinical governance systems, monitor outcomes, analyse complex data, and ensure that risk is managed effectively, using your expertise to provide advice and consultation on complex cases. Your leadership will inspire a culture of excellence, resilience, and learning across the Alliance, ensuring that children, young people, and their families receive the highest quality care.
This is a rare opportunity to influence the future of children and young people's mental health services, combining strategic oversight, operational leadership, and hands-on clinical expertise in a forward-thinking, values-led organisation.
