As a service, we deliver training to other professionals working across the emotional and mental health pathway and provide advice and guidance through our consultation process.
We are looking for an enthusiastic clinician who is committed to delivering innovative and transformational ways of working to support the young people who access our support, and reaching those who may not.

With a strong emphasis on partnership working, this role will include building strong links with a range of universal, targeted, and specialist services. The role will provide support to the senior clinicians and universal services through the delivery of consultation models, teaching and training and multi-agency forums and pathways to improve access and capacity building across the wider system.
As a Band 5 Primary Mental Health Worker, you will be supervised by a Band 6 Primary Mental Health Worker.
