The specialist support worker will hold the required level of skills and knowledge to undertake the running of the physical health monitoring arm of the Clozapine and Lithium Clinic. This will include venepuncture, physical health measurements, specialist side effect monitoring and reporting.

- The post holder will be responsible for the organisation of the clinic based service.
- The post holder will be required to work closely with colleagues, and with other services to ensure the essential running of the clinic.
