The teams work to a Recovery approach, with a strong emphasis on Trauma Informed Care and use of the Open Dialogue model. The successful candidate will have a particular interest in these new ways of working and further training opportunities in these areas are available. The services support service users throughout their journey in Mental Health Services, enabling consistency of care and close liaison with other local NHS services, Social Care, and community statutory and voluntary services.

This post would be attractive for an experienced Mental Health Social Worker and Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) who is passionate about developing services and staff to support mental health service users.
