Your main focus will be on:
* The day-to-day line management and support of a team of Recovery and Wellbeing Workers, who provide both general and specialist support.
* Building strong working relationships with the NHS and Local Authority, voluntary sector partners (Mind, 2ndStep..) and the local community to ensure your team can be effective in helping those who need it.
