You will have a vital role in improving the lives of our Service Users (Adults, Older Adults and sometimes Adolescence) and will be delivering high quality care for patients receiving treatments (Ketamine infusions, Electro-Convulsive Therapy, rTMS) for treatment resistant depression. You will need the skills to develop a strong therapeutic relationship, in order to provide the right psychological and emotional support to both the patients and their carers.

Working alongside the administrators within the team you will help them to review the administrative side of the referral process and will need IT skills to manage the clinical aspects of the Ketamine, ECT, rTMS  and systems.
