3. Provide interventions following NICE guidelines to promote recovery and prevent relapse in various settings, regularly reviewing care and outcomes.
4. Support and supervise junior team members, act as a mentor/preceptor to student nurses/trainees, and participate in clinical education and practice development initiatives.
5. Engage in operational planning, policy implementation, and service development within the team, including leading on delegated projects and participating in research and audit projects.
