Are you a motivated Mental Health Support Worker? Melstock House Dorchester are looking for you to join

Melstock House is a mixed-sex assessment unit designed specifically to cater to the older adult population struggling with functional mental health illnesses. Our unit is focused on providing superior care and treatment to individuals navigating acute phases of their psychiatric, social, psychological, and emotional health issues.

As a mental health support worker you will carry out general housekeeping duties and any tasks which help with the smooth running of the ward/unit. You will assist the nurses in their delivery of care to the patients. We are a highly motivated and friendly team who have experienced staff with a wide range of skills and we pride ourselves on providing excellent care to our service users. In return we have fantastic opportunities for you to continue your professional development, including training, appraisal and supervision.

**You will be required to work shifts that include**:
Early - 06:45 - 14:15

Late - 12:45 - 20:15

Long Day - 06:45 - 20:15

Night - 19:45 - 07:15

Night, weekend, and bank holiday working at enhanced pay

We are unable to provide sponsorship for this role.

You will escort patients outside of the hospital unit on journeys, as directed by the nurse in charge, where access to a means of communication directly to the unit is available, i.e., mobile phone, walkie-talkie, or radio.

You will make accurate records of patient observations.

You will report any complaints by patients/relatives to the trained staff on duty.

You will be required to undertake a Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression course and it is a condition of your employment that you successfully complete all aspects of this course; if this is not achieved you will not be able to commence working in the post.

Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of. Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.

At Dorset HealthCare we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.

Working with us you’ll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know. And you’ll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
