We're always developing new ways of supporting our service users; we boast a thriving Recovery College and Therapeutic Day service, plus access to respite and admission prevention support within a supported housing provider.

When you join us, you can expect to enjoy plenty of opportunities for joint working, case formulation, training and a sound supervision structure.
