You will work directly with (often through care co-ordination), and indirectly support, individuals with complex emotional needs. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working within a psychological formulation and utilising the therapeutic relationship to support clients to achieve their goals.
You will be skilled in balancing therapeutic risk taking with robust risk management, incorporating this within your own work as well as supporting others to do the same.
The service often supports individuals who may be diagnosable with a 'personality disorder', as well as those with neurodivergent diagnoses or no formal diagnosis.
