This post was vacated by the previous substantive consultant moving. The Harrogate locality is covered by two community mental health teams: The Harrogate Integrated Community team (HICT) and Ripon Integrated Community Team (RICT).

The post holder will be working with the Ripon Integrated Community team. Another consultant also provides input into this team with 5 PAs.
