A community-focused provider of mental health services has a fantastic new opportunity for a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) to join the team in Salford, supporting and assisting local people who are experiencing common mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, and more.
The team is dedicated to providing safe, compassionate, and comprehensive psychological care, placing a strong emphasis on adaptability to make services accessible and constructive for all. Working closely with other local community organisations and wider health & social care providers, services are provided in a range of ways to best suit individual needs, including 1-to-1 and group sessions, online and face-to-face in a primary care setting.
