If you believe your skills, experience and personal attributes can help make a positive difference to the lives of others and you want to be part of a dedicated and supportive team, we would love to hear from you.

- Supporting service users to manage their finances and / or housing needs.
- Empowering service users to self-manage aspects of their ongoing treatment, such as medication, diet and lifestyle, physical health and general wellbeing.
- Depending on the team, key activities may also include undertaking the role of Care Coordinator for service users who have been assessed as presenting relatively low to moderate levels of clinical complexity and risk, under the guidance and supervision of registered clinicians.
