This post will provide clinical, strategic and performance leadership for all High Intensity modalities, i.e. CBT, relational therapies and Long-term Health Conditions. The post-holder will also perform responsibilities delegated by the Clinical Lead as appropriate for this level of seniority.

As guided by the services strategies, the Deputy Leads will collaborate with one another to develop and deliver seamless interventions across steps, modes (individual, groups, classes, etc.), and specialist clinical areas. It is crucial that the post-holder possesses adaptive clinical, managerial and strategic abilities to support the Clinical Lead and their strategies for the day-to-day running of the service and future expansion/ service development as guided by wider Health strategies and demands.
