Do you have significant experience working in mental health services and providing evidence-based interventions to people with various mental health problems and serious mental illness?
This is a unique opportunity to join the Psychology Service within our Primary Care-based Mental Health and Wellbeing Service, an ambitious service established over the past 2 years.
