Job Overview

This position offers a unique chance to join a well-resourced Health and Fitness team dedicated to supporting individuals with severe mental health conditions or personality disorders in a secure hospital setting.

The facility has transitioned to a state-of-the-art high-security environment, emphasizing innovative care for a complex patient demographic. Our commitment to collaborative, multi-disciplinary teamwork is central to our approach, focusing on risk reduction and behavioral management.
