The CRHTT is part of the wider CMHC team providing short and long-term mental health intervention for adults in North Ceredigion.

The team includes a number of very experienced support workers who the successful applicant will work alongside.

For informal discussion / further details please contact David McFarlane or Asa Galeozzie.

Working in a compassionate and non-judgemental manner with individuals in acute distress in their own homes, in the community and in health settings.

Delivering low-level short term interventions under the direction of senior practitioners / assistant psychologist to improve psychological wellbeing and resilience of individuals on the team's caseload.

Accurately recording contacts with individuals in clinical notes in a timely manner. Support the senior practitioner to complete all necessary administrative tasks.
