We are seeking a Clinical Administrator to join us at Respond. If you are an experienced administrator looking for a rewarding new role and you can be part of the exciting development of new clinical structures of a specialist psychotherapy service. Respond has an exciting opportunity for you.
The Clinical Service Administrator is an integral part of the development of administrative and operational functions of the psychotherapy service alongside the Psychotherapy Services Manager.
