We are seeking a Lead Clinician on a full-time basis, to support others in leading our mental health and wellbeing hub in Cowley. You will work in an integrated MH setting with colleagues from primary care, mental health services, including the voluntary and community sector, to improve support for those with mental health issues.
As part of our services across Oxfordshire we have established Keystone Mental Health hubs to support GP practices with Mental Health assessment and support for patients in their communities.
We offer training and development to all our hub staff to ensure they are able to provide a trusted assessor role, as well as being supported to apply for formal training currently being offered from HEE to provide psychological interventions for people with SMI.
