Contract Type: 16 month fixed term contract
Location: London
Reports to: Director of Clinical Services 
 
THE CHARITY 

Suicide is the leading cause of death of men under 35 and three quarters of those who die by suicide are men. James’ Place exists to save the lives of men in suicidal crisis through delivering clinical services. We are a charity currently offering free, life-saving therapy to suicidal men at our centres in Liverpool, London and Newcastle. 
 
James’ Place was set up by Clare Milford Haven and Nick Wentworth-Stanley in 2008 after their twenty-one-year-old son, James, died by suicide ten days after a minor operation. James had no history of mental illness or depression and had sought urgent help for anxiety and suicidal thoughts but didn’t find it.    
 
James' Place was set up to make the experience of finding help as easy as possible. We offer men who are experiencing a suicidal crisis a brief, intensive, therapeutic intervention in a safe environment. Men who walk through the door at James’ Place will be in a space where they feel valued and respected.  We provide a calm and peaceful environment both inside the centres and in our outside spaces, accessible to men who visit us as well as their friends and families. We have so far treated over 5,100 men who might otherwise have been unable to access the support they desperately need.
 
In early 2026 we will be opening our fourth centre in Birmingham. Our new centre in Birmingham will be there to support suicidal men living in the West Midlands.
 
THE OPPORTUNITY 
 
We are seeking an experienced clinician to join us on a Fixed Term Contract to cover a period of maternity leave.

The post-holder will be expected to travel to other James’ Place sites to assist in addressing issues as requested.
 
The post holder must have a clear understanding of performance management of teams and individuals in teams and be able to ensure delivery from those they line manage. This will include ensuring that all suicide prevention therapists have minimal caseloads and achieve high quality outcomes.
