Location

The NHS Day Unit provides assessment and treatment of the mental health needs of children and young people. The Education Team, as part of the Day Unit, works closely with clinical colleagues and professionals from other agencies, therefore, the ability to work collaboratively is essential.

The educational provision at the Day Unit is provided by Lancashire Hospital Education Service (LHES). LHES provide at 3 sites in Lancashire: Burnley General Hospital, Royal Preston Hospital and The Cove (in-patient) at Heysham.
The post is currently worked over 2 days but flexibility across the days of Monday to Thursday would be considered.
