The Lambeth Living Well Network (LWN) Alliance brings together Certitude, Lambeth Clinical Commissioning Group, Lambeth Council, South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and Thames Reach organisations to deliver an innovative way of providing mental health support for those who need it in the Lambeth Borough; a fully integrated and coordinated mental health system which focuses on people’s strengths and supports their whole health and wellbeing.
As part of our journey to realising a fully integrated system, we have set up 3 Living Well Centres in Lambeth. The SPA is the front door for mental health services in Lambeth.
About the Role
We are looking for dynamic and enthusiastic candidates, with strong leadership skills and a commitment to delivering high standards of care.
The post holder will work with the Team Lead and Senior Clinical Practitioners to support and advise on the delivery of high-quality safe care.
