Do you have a friend or family member you would recommend to join us? Or do you know someone who wants to return to practice in the NHS? If the person you refer is appointed by the Trust and completes their probationary period you will receive £500 reward payment for the introduction!

The role includes a focus on supporting improvements in the process of transition to the adult mental health services as and when appropriate.

Everyday you'll have the opportunity to make a long-lasting difference and the privilege of working with young people in the local community. You'll encounter stimulating challenges and endless rewards; opportunities to create change and transform lives; teams fuelled by collaboration; and a culture that fosters innovation and values a diverse and inclusive workplace.

We welcome discussions or informal visits to meet the team and see what the role entails.
