About the Team Leader position

Marymead are now working on an exciting new project in conjunction with ACT Health and the Office for Mental Health and Wellbeing to develop a dedicated online portal for children and young people to access mental health support and resources.

The Portal will be operational between midday and 11pm, Monday to Sunday. The core hours for the Youth Portal Team Leader position will span across Monday to Sunday with work hours and the potential to work from home to be negotiated with the successful applicant. This position is a full-time or part-time contract until June 2023 with the possibility of extension.
