Job responsibilities

All client interventions will be delivered digitally. This includes a combination of web-based and phone support, ensuring those without reliable internet access can still receive help. Our range of options includes one-to-one, and virtual support groups delivered using digital tools. The service is for people living within NHS Highland, so knowledge and understanding of this area is preferred and being based in this region is desirable. The closing date for applications is 3rd August 2025. This advert may close early should sufficient applications be received.
