About The Role

The service brings together clinical, psychosocial rehabilitation and lived experience approaches to help young people build confidence, strengthen daily living skills and achieve their personal recovery goals.

Working collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team, you will provide practical, emotional and psychosocial support through individual and group‐based rehabilitation activities that promote recovery, independence and successful community participation.
