You will be working with service users with known and unknown risks, ranging from low to severe risks, to self and others.  The ultimate goal is to achieve recovery, promote social inclusion,prevent re-hospitalisation and revolving door-cycles, reduce re-offending and also keep service users and members of the public safe.
