To facilitate meaningful occupation in order to maximise the individual’s quality of life and recovery whilst minimising potential risks.

To enable integration into the community when appropriate and promote social inclusion.

To provide an inclusive service where the individuality of each patient is respected, giving consideration to ethnic origin, age, background, religion, sexual orientation or personal beliefs.

Please note that this post may not meet the pay and skill level required for a Skilled worker visa

Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of Agenda for Change Band 3. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa.
