The Salford Mental Health Liaison Team (SMHLT) is a CORE-24 mental health service offering a comprehensive range of mental health specialties within one MDT, based in Salford Royal Hospital.

The successful post holder will predominantly work within the SMHLT, providing support and assistance to the professionally qualified staff, whilst delivering high quality care and support to service users referred to the service. You will possess excellent interpersonal skills and be able to demonstrate care and compassion to those we support. You will be self-motivated and work well in a team, with an ability to keep calm under pressure or in times of crisis.
