You'll also be assessing our young people's mental health and recommend appropriate interventions in a personalised care plan. Building rapport is key, by doing this you'll be able to deliver effective counselling and feedback on progress.

You'll benefit from supervision, a clinical development programme and access to a 220+ strong team of multi-disciplinary clinical colleagues who will be with you every step of the way.
