An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the multi-disciplinary team on Gibside Ward as a Band 4 Assistant Practitioner (AHP).

Gibside is the inpatient unit for the Regional Affective Disorders Service (RADS) and has 9 inpatient beds. Gibside also hosts an inpatient alcohol detox programme with 1 bed available. This post will work shifts across the full 7 day working week.


We are looking for a motivated and driven person, who has experience of working with people with mental health difficulties and in particular those with affective disorders.

This post involves working closely with the ward physiotherapist and occupational therapist to ensure patient care and service delivery is of a high quality.


The post holder will be expected to assist in the assessment, formulation and delivery of interventions under the direction of a registered practitioner.


This role will involve working directly with patients to implement and support their therapy programmes, specifically following prescribed exercise plans, either on the ward, on-site gym or wider community if appropriate.

The post holder will also support in group facilitation on the ward in conjunction with the ward Occupational Therapist. This post is likely to involve some manual handling.


We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future.

In return we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.


The team works with adults who have a learning disability to support the delivery of care and treatment often alongside mainstream services.

The team has a pathway approach and the physiotherapy role works into all those areas such as physical health, mental health, forensic and behaviour.

Please find attached job description for full details.
