Why this role exists
Most assistant posts are audit work with a clinical label. We need real analytic help with our PMDD and perimenopause outcomes, and we would rather train the next cohort of doctorate applicants properly while we do it.
Who you would be looking after
You support psychologists working with women experiencing PMDD, perimenopausal mood change, birth trauma and ADHD-linked dysregulation.

What this pays, and why
NHS band 4 assistant posts run roughly £25,000 to £28,000. We pay above that and protect supervision time, because the point of the post is to make you a strong doctorate applicant.
