You will have full support of the MDT, with regular team meetings, places for case discussion and supervision monthly.

We value team connection and wellbeing, for example once per month we have a day in a village hall, as one team, for 'protected time'. This allows us to think in calmness about our own wellbeing and how we do the job and stay connected. It also allows us to skills and we have specific reflective practice and in house training on these days.

**Benefits included with this role are**:
- NHS pension
- a comprehensive in house & external training programmes
- career progression
- starting annual leave of 27 days per annum increasing to 33 days pa based on length of service (plus paid bank holidays)

As above - we will support you as we move through a transformation, which will bring us closer together with colleagues using the thrive model of care.

Our aim is to be 'in the room' with other colleagues in primary care services, wellbeing, social care and third party sectors. This is an exciting time to join our team as we move forward and adapt, whilst retaining our identity and philosophy.

We have recently started a merger of the 2 youth teams across West Suffolk, but will continue for now to based in our localities. In the future locality base is likely to be in Bury St Edmunds.
