The Talbot Centre is passionate about pioneering the future of healthcare and this includes a strong commitment to developing and mentoring leaders in the healthcare field. If you are looking for an opportunity to be mentored in leadership development within a highly engaged, collaborative and diverse leadership team then this role is for you. Whilst prior management or leadership experience would be valued and welcomed, no prior experience is necessary, just a genuine desire to empower staff and clients to achieve their best lives.

As a team leader, you will have the opportunity to positively influence the experience of clinical staff within the service, facilitating initiatives that support staff wellbeing, reducing the risk of burnout and facilitating longevity in the profession, all whilst supporting clinicians to contribute to meaningful change in community mental health outcomes. You will be empowered to influence the direction of health service development both within the organisation and more broadly through innovation in service delivery and facilitating our clinical team to utilise their strengths and ideas to improve client experience and outcomes.

Please note provision of clinical supervision to staff is not required - see note at bottom of ad.
