To develop your role you will be supported with an induction package, both local and corporate and you will receive regular supervision and career conversations. You will be closely managed by a senior clinician in the team.
It is widely recognized that the transition point at the age of eighteen is a challenging one for young adults but particularly if they have mental health difficulties. Somerset Foundation Trust is committed to the development of an improved transition pathway, with the aim of ensuring a smooth transition between services as needed.
The post holder will demonstrate a desire to engage in and promote a wide range of therapeutic activities to support service users. Individuals will hold qualities of patience, enthusiasm and a keen interest in working with young people with complex needs.

The benefits of working in Somerset include the idyllic countryside, with our areas of outstanding beauty and stunning coastlines. You will get to enjoy these perks whilst still only being a stone’s throw away from bustling city centres like Bristol, Bath and Exeter and only two hours away from London.
There are excellent educational facilities in the area and, when compared to other regions, house prices are reasonable. You will experience the best of both in Somerset, the countryside and the cosmopolitan - there is truly something for everyone
