Enjoying unique lifestyle opportunities, St Helena Island is a self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom.

In this vital role you will own a caseload of patients who have complex and substantial mental health needs. As a member of the Community Mental Health Team, you will ensure high quality individualised care that promotes recovery and maximises independence, displaying sensitivity to patient and relatives’ level of understanding and culture

You may also be involved in monitoring detoxification programmes and provide longer term support/treatment, contributing to the development of an updated mental health strategy, providing opportunities for junior staff. As part of the mental health team, you will engage in mental health promotion including presentations, media interviews and public information articles. You will be expected to be on call at least one week in three, out of hours and weekends as required.
