An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Support Worker position within the Mental Health Liaison Team (MHLT) based at The Lakes Colchester. We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic individual who is passionate about mental health. The post holder will join an evolving team, and will be jointly responsible for the delivery of a high standard care within an acute hospital environment.
