Our Charity

St Andrew’s is a mental health Charity and our purpose is to inspire hope for those living with complex mental health needs. We are looking to a future that ensures everyone with complex mental health needs is heard, valued and has hope for their future.

Birmingham

Our Birmingham site is a thriving member of the Reach Out provider collaborative alongside our NHS partners of Birmingham and Solihull NHS Foundation Trust, Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust and Midlands Partnership NHS Trust. Situated 3 miles from the City Centre in the south of the City.

The Role

This is an exciting new opportunity for Birmingham, offering the chance to shape and grow an emerging service that will make a real difference to the lives of our patients. We are looking for a passionate and skilled Registered Practitioner with post‑registration experience working therapeutically with service users to address patterns of alcohol and substance misuse.

In this role, you will be an integral part of our positive, committed multidisciplinary clinical team on the Birmingham site - delivering high‑quality assessments, consultations and interventions (both group and 1:1) for individuals experiencing substance misuse challenges. This includes those with co‑occurring mental health difficulties or long‑term physical health conditions. You will be involved in providing the psychotherapeutic treatments and have knowledge of the pharmacological treatments that support recovery.

You will work collaboratively with patients, families, carers and a wide range of professionals, including the ward‑based MDT, ensuring every person receives compassionate, coordinated and effective care.

Your expertise in related risk assessment will enable you to develop thoughtful, person‑centred treatment and risk management plans that support safe care, promote recovery and contribute to well‑planned, hopeful discharge pathways.

As part of our forward‑thinking service, you will play an active role in championing quality improvements, shaping innovative approaches to care and contributing to service development within St Andrew’s and the wider Reach Out collaborative. This is a role where your ideas, enthusiasm and expertise can truly influence the future of how we support people towards better outcomes.
