To thrive in this role, you will have: 

Excellent clinical, teaching, communication, time management and organisational skills, with the ability to adapt, prioritise and solve problems in a dynamic clinical environment. 

A positive, flexible and evidence-based approach to clinical education, supervision and supporting staff to deliver safe, high-quality mental health care. 

The ability to build respectful relationships, work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams and foster a positive learning culture that supports growth, confidence and continuous improvement.
