You will bring significant experience working within crisis, mental health or psychological services, together with a proven ability to lead teams, manage risk and deliver high-quality, person-centred care.
We're particularly interested in people who can provide calm and decisive leadership, support others to perform at their best, and maintain a strong focus on quality, safety and continuous improvement in emotionally demanding environments.
You will have:
