• Work closely with partner organisations to improve integration and consistency.
• Represent Better Connect in sector forums and contribute to service design and innovation.

Who we’re looking for

You’re an experienced mental health clinician and leader who brings:

• Experienced mental health clinician with strong clinical governance and quality improvement experience.
• Skilled in clinical supervision and supporting supervisors.
• Able to influence practice and culture without direct operational authority.
• Collaborative, relationship‑focused, and confident engaging diverse stakeholders.
• Strong knowledge of MHAODSP frameworks and sector standards.
• Consortium/multi‑agency experience is highly desirable.

You will hold:
