Adolescent Suicide & Self-Harm Specialist for AI Training

Role Overview

Apply specialist adolescent mental health expertise to help improve AI-supported assessment and management of suicide and self-harm risk. You will review complex clinical presentations, develop practical risk guidance, and produce high-quality written assessments that help non-specialists distinguish ideation, intent, self-harm, and acute risk. Prior AI experience is not required.

Key Responsibilities

• Review adolescent case materials and prepare structured written risk assessments for suicide and self-harm presentations.
• Use validated tools, including the C-SSRS, alongside expert clinical risk formulation to provide clear, actionable guidance.
• Differentiate self-harm, suicidal ideation, and intent, and characterize risk acuity precisely.
• Recommend response protocols, including escalation pathways, Stanley-Brown safety planning, and means-restriction strategies.
• Identify comorbidities, safeguarding concerns, and contextual factors that influence risk.
• Document research-grade guidance in clear English so non-specialists can confidently carry out recommended actions.
• Benchmark and cross-reference risk judgments against established guidelines and peer assessments to support consistency.

Qualifications

• 3 to 5+ years of post-qualification experience with direct adolescent clinical contact focused on suicide and self-harm risk.
• Specialist credentials in child and adolescent psychiatry or psychology, with demonstrated suicide and self-harm intervention expertise.
• An active clinical license or registration in good standing and an active adolescent caseload within the past two years.
• Advanced proficiency with suicide and self-harm risk assessment tools, including C-SSRS and safety-planning protocols.
• Familiarity with evidence-based adolescent interventions, including DBT-A and trauma-informed care.
• Strong clinical reasoning, risk assessment, intervention judgment, risk formulation, ideation and intent differentiation, and escalation judgment.
• Exceptional written English, demonstrated by native proficiency or IELTS 7.5+ with writing 7.0+, TOEFL 100+, Cambridge C1 to C2, or an equivalent qualification.
• DBT-A or CBT training, crisis or inpatient experience, and contributions to suicidology research or clinical guidelines are desirable.
