These interventions can include developing daily living skills, emotional management strategies, supporting the development of healthy routines, relapse prevention, and work towards building skills for employment.

    Interventions would include:

    STROT - OT and Support Workers working to support people to transition successfully into primary care and accessing local resources.

    Life Skills Groups - Supporting those with long term mental health conditions to develop skills to live independently and safely.

Potential post-holders should demonstrate a capacity for creative and flexible working, and willingness to work in a diverse, challenging and multi-agency environment.
