The team serves the population of Furness and has its base in Barrow. It is an established team with a friendly and supportive culture. There is a visible and supportive leadership team who are committed to clinical supervision and professional development.

This is a demanding role in a busy service. Ideally, you will have current or previous experience of working within a mental health setting.
