About Limbic

Limbic is a London‑based clinical AI start‑up on a mission to make high‑quality mental healthcare accessible to everyone, everywhere. The way we do that is by deploying AI responsibly, using it to augment clinical care and reduce barriers to accessing therapy at scale.

Limbic is already used in over 45% of Talking Therapies in the NHS, and in some of the biggest healthcare providers in the US, which makes us the largest ever deployment of AI for direct patient care. Limbic is deemed safe and effective after successfully gaining UKCA Class IIa certification, the only AI mental health chatbot to do so.

Our products are proven to significantly improve outcomes in NHS and international health settings: increasing recovery rates, cutting dropouts, and enabling round‑the‑clock, AI‑driven intake and support. We are now looking for a mission-driven, experienced clinician to help us further accelerate our vision to build the future of mental healthcare.

The role

We're seeking a part time (2 days per week) Clinical Specialist to help deliver best-in-class AI for mental health care.

As a Clinical Specialist, you will play a key role in translating our pioneering AI research into products that tangibly improve our users' lives. You will be involved in the entire lifecycle of our products, from scoping and ideation, through to prompt engineering, safety testing, and client support. This is a role for someone who is confident in their clinical decision making, and is not afraid to back up their viewpoints with real world evidence.

What you’ll do

Under the supervision of our Head of Clinical, you will be the go-to person for all clinical support and requirements for our UK operations. This can include, but is not limited to:

• Providing clinical input to support the development of new products

• Providing feedback to support iteration on current products

• Prompt engineering

• Pre-deployment QA, safety, and red-team testing

• Post deployment monitoring and transcript review

• Delivering conference presentations, and supporting the Sales and Customer Success teams in client meetings

• Working alongside our research team to support the development of our AI models

• Creating content and writing copy for our products

• Being aware of any developments in the evidence-base or mental health field more generally, and feeding these back to the company level (eg. changes in NICE guidance)

• Generally providing clinical support to all areas of the company as and when required
