Spectrum‑Life’s Digital Therapist role sits at the intersection of cutting‑edge HealthTech and evidence‑based mental health care.

Candidates will work on a purpose‑built platform, shaping individual treatment plans while navigating a stepped‑care model that mirrors in‑person IAPT services. The company’s emphasis on co‑creation and continual service improvement means therapists will also feed back into product development, influencing the next generation of online mental‑health tools. A clear expectation is rigorous clinical governance, GDPR compliance and regular supervision, making this role a blend of frontline therapy and digital innovation.
