Life is a collection of small moments: meaningful moments, challenging moments, moments to remember. At SCDHB, we want to support our people to enjoy more of the moments that matter. Are you ready to join us?

Right now, we’re looking for a proven Clinical Leader to assume responsibility for guiding safe and effective patient safety and quality of care processes across Community Mental Health and Addiction Services (both DHB and NGO Providers). This new role comes about as one of the recommendations identified as being a key outcome from our comprehensive review of MHA services within South Canterbury.

You will also be eager to ensure a client centered care approach becomes fully integrated along with the incorporating key priorities which have been developed around the strategic direction for Mental Health and Addiction Services nationally, (including Whakamaua: Māori Health Action Plan 2020-2025).
