We are looking for a proactive, approachable clinician who is passionate about multi-agency working, formulating complexity, and providing direct and indirect input to a stigmatised and marginalised population.

Our shifts are 7.5 hours, week days only, with core working hours generally being 9am to 5pm. However, we understand the importance of a work-life balance, so are open to discussions about compressed hours.
