  • The ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining a high standard of clinical care.
  • Demonstrated resilience and a commitment to continuous professional development and quality improvement.

Why Join This Service?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a passionate, dedicated and progressive mental health team within a large public health service.

Benefits may include:

  • Highly competitive remuneration package.
