Fancy a New Challenge and Make a Difference to Young People Across Norfolk and Waveney?
We are excited to announce that we have a vacancy for a Band 5 Senior Assistant Practitioner to join our Mental Health Advice, Support and Access team (MHASA).
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in mental health services who is passionate about supporting children, young people, and their families. Working within our busy and supportive team, you will play a key role in providing advice, support, and access to the right services for young people across Norfolk and Waveney.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar

It searches the market for you

Please note that this is a non-patient facing role.
Should we receive a high number of applications we reserve the right to close this vacancy at any point after 23/07/2026.
