This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced practitioner who is interested in further developing their specialist skills. As an Advanced Practitioner you will provide advanced clinical assessment, formulation, care co-ordination and therapeutic interventions for people who present with complex emotional, relational and personality difficulties combined with high risk to self.
