Are you up for a rewarding challenge?
We're on the lookout for candidates who possess either experience or a passion to contribute their learned skills to enhance our services.

Our leadership team is warm and welcoming, eager to find someone who will help us deliver the best possible patient journey. If you're ready to make a difference, we want to hear from you.

These services include children's, adult and older people's mental health, forensic and specialist mental health, learning disabilities, primary care and liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, social care, research and development.
To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high-calibre candidates who share our vision and values. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including disabled people and members of our ethnic minority and LGBTQ+ communities.
