Are you passionate about delivering high-quality mental health care in the community? Our Home Treatment Team (HTT) is expanding, and we are looking for skilled and compassionate Mental Health Practitioners to join our service.
HTT provides intensive support to adults of working age experiencing acute mental health crises. Our focus is on helping individuals remain safely at home, avoiding hospital admission wherever possible, and supporting those recently discharged to minimise inpatient stays. We work collaboratively with individuals, carers, and wider services to offer responsive, person-centred crisis intervention across Cornwall.

If you're committed to compassionate crisis care, enjoy working within a dynamic MDT, and want to be part of a service that is developing and growing, we would love to hear from you.
