Darlington County Durham, United Kingdom Tewv Brits Full time

Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust
The successful post holder will be responsible for planning and providing appropriate activities to meet the general therapeutic, social and recreational needs of individual service users.
This includes working with others to develop and establish a timetable of activities which can be delivered across the ward both individually and within groups and also in the local community. This will need to be flexible and patient centred, changing regularly according to the needs of a patient cohort, and according to the interests of individuals at any given time.
Oak ward is a 12 bedded Mental Health unit with both male and female, functional patients. We pride ourselves in providing a high standard of care within a multi-disciplinary approach, which is recovery focused. We believe we are progressive and forward thinking, seeking to improve our service. We offer varied training opportunities to support our team and individuals' development.
The post holder will do both ward based activities and also help reintegrate our patient into the local community. Risk awareness is essential for this post.
We are looking for people who can work relatively independently, using their own skills (art and craft, cooking/baking, gardening, music and exercise, puzzles and games) to support patients in engaging with meaningful activity, and through this promote wellbeing using a client centred approach.
Although this role will primarily focus on the delivery and planning of activities there will be an expectation for the successful candidate to deliver direct patient care and work directly with the nursing team to ensure Patient care and safety is the main priority. This role will also work closely with out discharge facilitator to help reintegrate our patients into their local community, building support networks outside of the hospital environment.
The successful candidates who do not hold the required qualifications will be expected to enrol on theActivity Coordinator Frameworkwhich will include the acquisition of theLevel 3Certificate in Activity Provision in Social Care - Distance learning, level 2 in Literacy and Numeracy or equivalent and achievement of competencies. We are the Mental Health & Learning Disability NHS Trust for County Durham and Darlington, Teesside, North Yorkshire, York and Selby.
From education and prevention, to crisis and specialist care --our talented and compassionate teams work in partnership with our patients, communities and partners to help the people of our region feel safe, understood, believed in and cared for.
We nurture the recovery journey of anyone in need of our help. We connect with our communities and partners to get mental health care right, in areas that really need it.
Due to the nature of the role it is essential that applicants are able to travel independently across the locality and have access to a suitable vehicle for business purposes. Relevant level 3 or above qualification e.g. in health and/or social care, communication, teaching
Numeracy, Literacy and ITQ Level 2 (or equivalent)
Level 3 qualification in health and social care if not in place already
