The post-holder will require a high degree of professional autonomy and self-management, and the ability to work well in a team.

You will be supported by regular clinical and management supervision sessions, access to a variety of CPD sessions, and performance appraisals. You will also participate in clinical discussions within the teams, complex case discussions and reflective spaces.

The clinical team leaders are committed to staff development: there are regular opportunities for staff to apply for appropriate training courses.
