Main duties of the job
You will work as part of a welcoming and supportive team that provides mental health assessment, advice, diagnosis, treatment and care plans to patients and the families supporting them. You will be working as part of a service that responds to adults presenting with acute symptoms of mental ill health, distress, and risk presentations.

Your enthusiasm to provide the best quality of care could be just what we need to expand our team
