    The Centre which opened in 2006 comprises of 12 acute beds, 16 intensive care beds and up to 9-day patient places.

    The service has led the way in the design of adolescent mental health facilities nationally. Young people present with eating disorders, psychosis, OCD, and emerging and emotional regulation difficulties.
    The young people are in varying stages of recovery and can be dynamic and resourceful. We actively encourage them to help us enhance their experience of care.

    The wider therapy team is also currently developing the family therapy clinic over the next 6 months to broaden opportunities for our young people and families, as well as developing the team's systemic thinking.

    Psychological input begins at admission and is focused on enabling young people to return to their community as soon as possible.

    Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve.

    We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive - so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations
