We offer a range of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, supports and advocacy to a client base both locally, and (remotely) across the UK.

As a business, The St Andrews Practice Limited has grown exponentially, year on year since trading commenced in February 2020. Having immediately navigated the COVID-19 pandemic, the company has established a business model that prioritizes financial sustainability and staff wellbeing as key drivers of high-quality service provision.

Starting salary is £65,000 per annum with additional bonus incentives, contributory pension scheme, generous annual leave allowance (8 weeks per annum), and options for flexible working patterns, including some home-based working.

As Clinical Lead for CYP you will work collaboratively with the Clinical Director and Practice Manager, focussing on service development, clinical governance, financial sustainability, and improvement planning across the whole service, but with specific focus on ensuring that the service continues to provide the highest standards of care to children, young people, and their families.
