Leeds, United Kingdom Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Are you someone who is looking for an opportunity to be involved in enhancing the lives & wellbeing of older people experiencing mental health problems and/or dementia? Our service users need support in many aspects of their lives.

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the dementia inpatient service at The Mount. Ward one and ward two provide 24hr care for people with dementia.

We are looking to extend our existing Occupational Therapy provision in the service by recruiting two activity coordinators to work along with team to provide person centred care for people with dementia.

The jobholder will be actively involved in planning, organising and delivering high quality and meaningful recreational activities on either an individual or groupwork basis.

If you have a genuine desire to work with this service user group & you want to work in a stimulating, friendly & caring environment where you can make a difference in people’s lives then why not join our dedicated teams at the Mount? We would welcome informal enquiries should this opportunity interest you.

A person-centred, strength-based approach will be required to ensure that activities are tailored to the person to meet their individual needs and promote wellbeing. The jobholder will work independently with people with dementia who require one to one levels of observation and engagement

The jobholder will communicate easily and sensitively with older people and their carer/families.

Professional qualifications are not required, but the jobholder will have experience of working with older people including those who have for example dementia, cognitive impairment, physical disability, and clinically related behaviours that are challenging.

The jobholder will contribute to the maintenance of a positive and creative environment for undertaking activities.

The jobholder will be expected to work in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team and volunteers offering guidance and support.

The Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LYPFT) is the main provider of Mental Health and Learning Disability services in Leeds. We also provide specialist inpatient services in York and some highly specialised services across the country. As a teaching trust with strong links to local universities, we are a centre of excellence for teaching, research and development.

There are many benefits of working for LYPFT including fantastic employee wellbeing support, 27 - 33 days annual leave, flexible working and remote working arrangements, the NHS Pension Scheme (LYPFT pays 20.6% into your scheme each year), coaching, support and opportunities for career development and training and education support alongside a range of exclusive discounts and payment schemes including for cars, extra leave days and more organisations such as Blue Light Card, Health Service Discounts and NHS Discount Offers.

Please refer to the Job description and person specification for a more detailed outline of the post.
