We are looking for an experienced, proactive Mental Health Practitioner to manage our Recovery Service in Whalley Range, Manchester. You’ll lead a dedicated team providing person-centred care for 11 individuals with enduring mental health needs and one with a learning disability.

In this role, you’ll support the Service Manager in line-managing the team, meeting service user goals, conducting holistic assessments, and creating support plans with accurate records on our ECCO system.

An up-to-date understanding of recovery principles, mental health legislation, and interventions is required, along with knowledge of the MHA, MCA, DOLs, and care standards.
