This is an exciting opportunity to work within the South Bucks Older Adult Mental Health Team (CMHT) based at the newly refurbished South Bucks mental health hub based in High Wycombe as a Support Time and Recovery (STR) Worker.
We are a supportive, dynamic and integrated team which, although busy, has many rewards. We care deeply about our patients and their families and carers. We believe in listening and responding as a team, piloting new models, supporting each other and developing and using new care approaches. We aim to improve patient care provided as well increase staff satisfaction and sense of achievement.
Main duties of the job
