Help us achieve our vision for crisis services in Hertfordshire.

We're looking for a talented health or social care professional to lead our innovative and progressive Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Teams (CRHTTs) in Herts. It is an exciting time to join us following the crisis remodeling where we now have 24/7 responsive adult crisis and acute care service. The role will provide a genuine opportunity for you to develop your management skills and make a difference.

Main duties of the job

You'll have substantial management experience within the NHS, and significant experience of working with clinicians and multi-disciplinary teams to achieve service improvement. We'd like to see a real passion for community and crisis mental health services, and the difference you can make to service users and carers. It's a challenging role, in a challenging environment, but we believe it will provide a talented and ambitious manager with real scope to develop and influence practice.

You'll have the opportunity to participate in our Leadership Academy, and benefit from excellent promotion prospects, some state of the art clinical environments and the opportunity to be part of a fantastic multidisciplinary team of staff who are genuinely committed to improving the lives of our service users and carers. We have an excellent range of staff benefits.

You'll need to be a car driver (unless you have a disability as defined by the Equality Act 2010 which prevents you from driving).
