Cardiff, United Kingdom Priory Healthcare Full time

**Ready for the recognition and rewards you deserve?**

We don’t just talk about putting employees first. We know that Priory wouldn’t exist without the combined effort and expertise of all disciplines. As such, we invest heavily in training, provide first-class support, promote collaborative teamwork and give everyone on our team the opportunities and resources to achieve their full potential.

**Priory Hospital Cardiff are currently looking for a Therapy Assistant to join our team.**

**Priory Hospital Cardiff is a modern mental health treatment unit. The unit includes accommodation for 45 patients and a variety of facilities, such as three secure gardens, a gym, a hydrotherapy pool, patient practice kitchens, patient social area, art rooms and dedicated support service areas.**

The service is currently being developed to provide bespoke treatment packages for a variety of patients with complex mental health needs. The unit will provide a modern, homely environment promoting independence, whilst employing an experienced mutli-disciplinary team to oversee and support patient progress.

The role of the Therapy Assistant is to work closely with the Occupational Therapists, and other members of the Therapy Team, to deliver group and one to one occupational, therapeutic and recreational activities and interventions. The work will take place on the wards, in the hospital grounds and in the community.

The aim will be to deliver a range of innovative interventions that motivate and engage individuals to improve their occupational skills and mental wellbeing. There will be opportunities for assessing, intervening and evaluating progress in line with MDT care plans. The post requires someone who is willing to find new and creative ways to work with patients with a range of presenting difficulties. Some work will be on a one to one basis with patients who need individual care, and some work will be supporting patients in groups.

Responsibilities will also include being involved in reducing restrictive interventions (including being involved in managing incidents of violence and aggression where required), good clinical note taking, planning skills, good time management and engagement in department meetings and supervision.

Qualification - 5 GCSEs (or equivalent) or other relevant qualifications such as an NVQ.

Experience - experience of working in a healthcare setting and/or working with patients with mental health diagnosis or challenging behaviours would be desirable. However, there will be training and learning opportunities. Clinical work will be supervised by a qualified clinician.
