As a consultant you will be responsible for supporting your manager in ensuring that our service users’ needs are met through the delivery of high-quality care.

As a centre of excellence, you will offer a person-centred approach to their independence and well-being. You will have clinical leadership opportunities to develop services across the patch and medical education/ supervision.

The post holder will work within an active and supportive multidisciplinary team (the BaNES Getting More Help Team). With the team manager and senior members of the team, you will be expected to develop an active leadership role.

The Getting Help team offers therapeutic input to less complex cases. Emergency referrals can be made by agencies direct to the Getting More Help Team.
