  • Able to make good use of clinical supervision in a group and/or individual format
  •  Skilled in liaising with other teams and services including external agencies as required for the wellbeing of service users
  •  Proficient to assist in assessment of young people's mental health and make appropriate decisions regarding treatment or referral to other services.
