You will be a key member of the team and help contribute to the multi-disciplinary team's thinking and care-planning by working closely with psychiatry and nursing colleagues. Your primary role is to provide formulation and evidence-based therapeutic interventions for individuals and a significant part of the role is being supported to learn to assess and formulate before delivering treatments. We also regularly audit and review our activity and outcomes, to help us continue to improve and develop our work, and you will contribute to this.
