This service focuses on outcomes for individuals, maximising individual potential and minimising risk to independence, with an emphasis on choice and control.
 
As a member of the management team within the Community Resource Team you will share with other senior staff the responsibility for the effective operation of the service and participate in its ongoing development, as the service supports the implementation of Discharge to Recover and Assess.
