If you are passionate about empowering CYP to reach their full potential, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join a transformative initiative in mental health services as a Trainee Supervising Practitioner.

At Compass we positively encourage applications from all members of the community, regardless of gender, race, faith, disability, age or sexual orientation and encourage applications from people who have experiences in life which enrich skills and empathy. This is part of our commitment to equality and developing a truly inclusive and representative workforce.
