Mental Health Practitioner - MHIST

As a Mental Health Practitioner, you will work intensively with a small cohort of patients with a range of complex needs, providing high quality levels of care in order to assist these patients to live independent lives. Working alongside the MDT to ensure effective and adaptive patient care with a strong focus on recovery, identifying relapse indicators and promoting independence.
