A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen for the position of Recovery and Involvement Lead at Stockton Hall.  Your role will be to empower patients and educate staff on the importance of Service User Involvement at site, regionally and nationally.  You will have the drive and determination to enable the patients to have a voice about their current and future care and treatment.
