You will also contribute to the safe and effective running of the service through observation, monitoring, risk management, and accurate clinical record-keeping.

A key part of this role involves building positive relationships with young people, families, carers, and partner professionals, ensuring care is compassionate, collaborative, and recovery-focused.
