Dorset HealthCare are looking for individuals to join our Dorset Forensic Service team as a Mental Health Support Worker

As a Mental Health Support Worker in the Dorset Forensic Service team, you will work in our 12 bedded specialist male forensic low secure unit. The unit offers comprehensive inpatient low secure care aimed at stabilising mental health and risk; and facilitating patient’s recovery and transition back into the community.

You will be joining a supportive team who work collaboratively with Nurses, the Clinical Leads, Ward Manager, Service Manager, other disciplines and will receive regular supervision. At Dorset HealthCare we provide the opportunity for internal and external training.

The Dorset Forensic service is a 24/7 service and is based on Twynham Ward at St Ann’s Hospital.

This post is full time hours; however, part time hours would be considered.

**We work on a rota basis including weekends**:
Early - 07:15 to 15:15

Late - 13:00 to 21:00

Nights - 20:30 to 07:40

Weekends at enhanced pay

For further information, please contact Ben Kelly on 01202 492412.

As a mental health support worker, you will carry out general housekeeping duties, e.g. helping to keep the building tidy, assisting in setting of tables and serving meals, checking laundry items and any tasks which help with the smooth running of the ward/unit and assist the nurses in their delivery of care to the patients. You will participate with other members of the multi-disciplinary team, in providing a programme of care and rehabilitation for patients.

PMVA

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.
