An exciting opportunity has arisen to become Head of Clinical Services to lead our highly-regarded therapy, consultation and supervision activities.  

Our ideal candidate is an experienced parent-infant psychotherapist or practitioner psychologist who is passionate about supporting relationships between babies and their carers, and who can lead our well-established team of parent-infant psychotherapists delivering high-quality clinical work. 

This post has specific responsibility for the recruitment, management and leadership of clinical staff, the quality of clinical delivery and development of parent-infant clinical services, informed by psychodynamic/psychoanalytic parent-infant therapy.  There may also be opportunity to be involved in our highly-regarded national training delivery.

This role is part of our senior leadership team, reporting to the CEO directly. The post holder will occasionally be required to deputise in the CEO’s absence.

We encourage hybrid working but all staff are required to attend two face-to-face meetings per month on Wednesdays, for a 8.45am start in Kidlington. This role will also require flexibility to attend face-to-face meetings in Oxfordshire as required.

The Oxford Parent-Infant Project provides a wide range of service development and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities.  We have benchmarked our clinical salaries, annual leave and pension arrangements to the current NHS terms and conditions.  The role is ideally offered as 22.5 hours per week but there is some flexibility.

We are committed to promoting and supporting equality, diversity and inclusion and  welcome applications from anyone meeting the essential Job Description requirements.
