Description

Due to the recent promotion of the previous post holder, an exciting opportunity has arisen to contribute to the ongoing development of a recently created service, the Complex Needs Team.

The service is based in West Cheshire and is part of the ongoing NHS Long Term Plan Transformations.

It aims to transform care and provide high quality and evidence based psychological interventions to those who may traditionally have been given a label of 'personality disorder' and may have previously "fallen through the gaps".

This post is part time 22.5 hours per week.

CWP provides health and care services for local people, including mental health, learning disability, community physical health and all-age disability care - including the provision of three GP surgeries.


Our aim is to help people to be the best they can be, adopting a compassionate, person-centred approach to everything we do.

We were recently rated as Outstanding for Caring by the Care Quality Commission with a Good rating overall.


We have been recognised by the Health Service Journal as one of the top places to work in the health service for the last two years running.

CWP also scored the highest in the north west (among mental health, learning disability and community Trusts) for staff "recommending CWP as a place to work" in the NHS Staff Survey 2020.


We have services across Wirral and Cheshire, as well as Trafford, Warrington, Bolton, Halton and Liverpool - and provide specialist services for the North West as a whole.

CWP are committed to making our recruitment practices as inclusive as possible for everyone. We are committed to promoting equality and diversity and developing a culture that values differences. We are proud to be a Disability Confident employer.
