This is an excellent opportunity to be part of an established, dynamic and friendly perinatal community mental health service. We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated individual who would be committed to working within a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) to support the recovery of the families who are being cared for in this context.

We are looking for people who are willing to positively share their personal experiences with others in order to support clients in their journey of recovery.
