This position is part of the Diabetes Care For You (DCFY) team, which provides holistic care to adults 18+ living with diabetes in the Brighton & Hove and surrounding areas. The Lead Practitioner will be responsible for conducting psychological assessments, delivering time-limited psychotherapy for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes suffering from mild to moderate anxiety and/or depression, and overseeing a small team of psychotherapists. The position requires expertise in psychological interventions, participation in multi-disciplinary team (MDT) discussions, and collaboration with various health professionals to ensure comprehensive patient care.

In addition to clinical responsibilities, the role involves managing day-to-day operations within the psychotherapy team, contributing to service development and policy, and engaging in research and audit activities.

Opportunities for professional growth are abundant, with access to peer support forums and continuing professional development (CPD) events. The ideal candidate should have experience in managing service delivery, a passion for mental health equity, and strong consultative skills across multiple disciplines in the healthcare setting.
