Site location: Brixton

About Us
The Brixton Practice is a thriving psychotherapy and counselling practice founded by psychotherapist Nathan Claxton. We’re a non-traditional ‘clinic’ offering therapy rooms to rent for an expanding community of self-employed, independent therapists, alongside our recently launched Low-Cost (LC) Service, in which volunteer trainee therapists offer low-cost sessions as part of their supervised clinical training.
Our aim is to provide a supportive, collaborative environment where practitioners, trainees, and clients alike can feel empowered and connected. As we expand to new sites and continue to grow our LC service, we’re looking for someone who can help us thrive both behind the scenes and at the front desk- keeping the practice running smoothly and the humans at its core supported.
About the Role
As Practice Manager, you’ll be the operational heart of the practice- handling the day-to-day flow of client referrals, practitioner onboarding, LC service coordination, site logistics, and systems administration. You’ll also support the Practice Founder, Nathan Claxton, with personal admin tasks and play a key role in overseeing trainee practitioners and supporting new premises.
This role is ideal for someone who can work autonomously, move with ease between detailed administrative tasks and people-facing interactions, and take genuine pride in creating a supportive, well-held environment for both practitioners and clients. We’re looking for someone who enjoys project management, feels energised by helping to build, expand, and evolve our offerings and community into the future, and who’s excited to refine and strengthen the systems we already have in place. As a core member of the team, you will also have your own profile on our website.
