Mental Health Support Worker

1 month ago

Poole, United Kingdom Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Do you want to experience what it’s like working in a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit? Are you looking for a new opportunity to make a real difference to those that need it most?

An exciting opportunity has come up to work within the Male Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) based within St Ann's Hospital as a Mental Health Support Worker.

Haven Male PICU is a 7 bedded male PICU that provides a high level of effective and compassionate care to men who are experiencing the most acute phase of a serious mental disorder. This includes working with individuals presenting with psychotic disorders, mood disorders, complex trauma and personality disorders. We aim to promote a calm and therapeutic approach and environment where our patients are supported by a friendly, skilled and enthusiastic team that enables them to move forwards with their recovery.

We are currently looking for a confident, enthusiastic and caring worker who wishes to work in a fast paced and challenging environment. You will be part of a wonderful multi-disciplinary team that are friendly and passionate about providing the best experience for our service users.

You will be working within the multi-disciplinary team to provide care and treatment to patients detained under the Mental Health Act using a wide range of nursing interventions working within national guidelines.

**This role includes**:

- Working under the leadership of a Registered Mental Health Nurse
- Supporting the provision of care to meet patient's needs including physical, psychological and social
- Ensuring the environment is safe and therapeutic when nursing patients with high risk behaviours
- Implementing co-produced and individualised care plans and contribute to evaluation of these interventions
- Lead on and engage patients in a variety of activities both on the ward and off the ward
- Promote freedom of choice, autonomy and least restrictive practice, in a safe and therapeutic environment

Although experience working within healthcare, specifically mental health, is desirable, we would welcome individuals who do not have this experience. As a team, we can support you to develop yourself and your abilities in support of you becoming a skilled, competent and confident worker within PICU.

Within this role, there is the expectation of you being able to work shifts over the 7 day week, including night shifts.

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.
