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. The role acts as the first point of contact for clients, families, external stakeholder and members of staff. It may also involve some administrative support for the wider team. Excellent administration abilities, proactive and solution-focused approach to working, strong IT skills, discretion and a warm, professional manner are essential.
Respond is entering its thirty first year as a charity and has grown from a small London based charity to a medium sized national charity in recent years. Our mission is to reduce the impact of trauma in the lives of people with learning disabilities and autistic people, by developing trusting relationships, through psychotherapeutically informed services.
Further information about Respond
An important part of our work at Respond is working in a trauma-informed way. What this means for us is that we hold in mind the impact of trauma at all levels of the organisation, and all staff take part in reflective practice or team dynamics.
We provide a range of trauma-informed services for children, young people, adults and professionals. These include psychotherapy, advocacy, campaigning, training and other support services. The work we do is generally long term in recognition of research that clients with autism and learning disabilities who have experienced abuse and trauma take longer to process their trauma and to recover.
We are keen to encourage applications from a diverse range of candidates including people with lived experience, who are both interested in working in partnership to provide support, as well as supporting people with learning disabilities and autistic people who have experienced trauma.
We are committed to the furthering of human rights, equality, and positive social change through our therapeutic and advocacy work and are committed to anti-racism and other forms of anti-discriminatory practice. We recognise that we need to continually keep this as a focus in our work and as an integral part of our organisational strategy.
We celebrate diversity as an employer and as a provider of services to people who often experience multiple discriminations because of (but not limited to) being autistic or having a learning disability and experiences of trauma.
We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement in the person specification, we encourage you to apply anyway and demonstrate how your experience is transferrable for this role.
