We are looking for locums available for 30 hours per week between the hours of 8-4 or 9-5.

The site is a 28 bedded hospital in that cares for patients who are 18 years and over in an acute setting.

The wards consist of;

12 bedded male acute ward

8 bedded male acute ward

8 bedded female acute ward

The aim at is to provide a person centred approach and therapeutic environment, which promotes collaborative care planning to optimise treatment goals.

The site also has areas for outside sports activity.

The clinical team at the hospital encourage full involvement of the service user, their family and external professionals throughout their stay. They are invited to attend Ward Reviews and CPA meetings to ensure clear communication throughout the care pathway in order to promote individuals' recovery and facilitate discharge.

In order to maximise recovery, interventions offered include a wide range of therapeutic approaches, combining psychiatric and cognitive behavioural perspectives with occupational therapy, psychology, leisure and recreational activity.

Key duties:

* To provide support in assessing functional ability in activities of daily living through PADL assessments, cooking assessments, public transport use.
