At Working Options, we believe in:
- Empowering volunteers to deliver high-quality talks and workshops.
- Providing a first-class service for schools that trust us with their students.

Founded by two obstetricians in a hospital cupboard, we have grown into the largest UK charity funder of pregnancy research, shaping national guidelines, funding pioneering clinics, and supporting families at every stage of their journey.
Our mission is simple but ambitious: to save babies’ lives. We do this through world-leading research, expert information, partnerships with the NHS, and campaigning for policy change. Every year we fund four major research centres, provide trusted pregnancy support to thousands, and lead campaigns that challenge inequities in maternity care.

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.

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.

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 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.
