In a nutshell, we empower employees to live more fulfilling and balanced lives, through access to trusted tools and information to manage their own mental health. On top of this, we’re changing the way organisations around the world think about mental health, supporting business leaders to build data-informed wellbeing strategies that enable their employees to flourish.

We’re a fast-growing team with over 170 Unminders across London, Sydney and New York and would love for you to join us as our new Senior Clinical Psychologist.

The Role – Senior Clinical Psychologist

We’re looking for a Senior Clinical Psychologist to join our team on a 12 month FTC. This is an exciting opportunity for somebody with a background in clinical psychology, a solid knowledge of common mental health problems, and a desire to make a real impact in the world of digital mental health.

In this role, you’ll get to:

• Own: Take strategic ownership of key psychology-led projects, starting with our online events (roundtables, reflective spaces and skills-based sessions). This will mean owning the roadmap, sourcing experts to talk on specific topics, liaising closely with our Client Success team to manage demand, and sometimes hosting events.
• Oversee: Work closely with our Content team and your fellow psychologists to ensure the quality of our digital content offering. You’ll bring your subject matter expertise to oversee the authoring of evidence-based content, ensuring that key concepts are distilled into into engaging, informative material that has a tangible impact on users.
• Create: You’ll regularly visit our Unmind studio (located in Vauxhall). This will mean recording pieces to camera, both for our digital platform, and for distribution in our wider ecosystem (e.g. social media). You’ll also work closely with our creative teams to explore novel ways of content delivery.
• Manage: Ongoing relationship management of our remote teams of consulting psychologists who provide quality assurance for our ongoing content translation work (as we continue to build our content offering in foreign languages). This is a light-touch part of the role, but an important one in ensuring our content continues to be appropriate for a global audience.
• Shape: Input into product initiatives on an ad-hoc basis, ensuring that decisions are psychology-informed. Here, you’ll get to apply your expert knowledge and critical thinking skills to help inform our strategic direction.
• Nurture: You’ll work alongside our Chief Wellbeing Officer and our in-house wellbeing steering group, to help shape and execute our internal wellbeing strategy. You’ll ensure we walk our talk by ensuring all that we do to support Unminders is evidence-based and impactful.
