Worthing Base: Southwick, Shoreham, Worthing, Littlehampton and surrounding villages with some travel within wider areas as required by service need) and therefore regular access to transport is required.
The Horsham base role will include essential car use; access to a car and ability to drive, due to the large geographical area and the nature of the caseload and client visits. (Horsham base: Steyning, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Horsham, Crawley & East Grinstead).
If you have experience of:
- Working with people with complex mental health needs.
