To deliver top-quality care to our amazing patients and offer an alternative to traditional mental health admissions. You will be based in the main hub in Slough.

While you'll be based in heart of Slough, get ready for some exciting variety as you might occasionally travel to other locations like Windsor, Maidenhead, or Bracknell to meet the diverse needs of our services. If you're passionate about mental health, crave a dynamic work environment, and want to make a real impact, this could be the role for you! Apply now and let's create positive change together! Responsibilities include carrying out assessments, developing, implementing, and evaluating individualised care plans, along with directing patients to other services when necessary. Collaboration with service users and the broader multidisciplinary team is integral to the development of each personalised plan. Operating within a multidisciplinary team, you'll oversee care delivery, manage risks, and evaluate care outcomes, prioritising the recovery of each service user.
