Description

This is a new service and development across Greater Manchester forming part of large scale transformation plans for the Crisis Care Pathway for children and young people (CYP).

This role is a key element of a new GM wide Crisis Care Pathway which is child centred, needs led, responsive, accessible and flexible.
