Ailsa ward is a 20-bedded, mixed-sex, adult mental health rehabilitation and continuing care ward within Stobhill Hospital, Glasgow. The ward provides care and treatment to adults with a range of treatment-resistant mental health conditions that have impacted their social and personal functioning. Our aim as a nursing team is to work closely and collaboratively with our patient group, Consultant Psychiatrist, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, and Therapeutic Activity Nurses to provide excellent, holistic, evidence-based patient-centered care, focusing on supporting patients and their families on a journey to recovery and a productive life outside of a hospital setting.

As a multidisciplinary team, we encourage a psychological approach to recovery, centered on an ethos of empowering patients through Cognitive Remediation Therapy to improve outcomes, functioning, and interpersonal skills. We also conduct regular psychological formulation sessions for our MDT to attend, assisting us in understanding how best to develop care plans to achieve the best for our patients.

We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our professional and dedicated team as a Health Care Support Worker. The post-holder will be responsible for contributing to the care and support of people and will provide care and support as part of an agreed plan of care, which involves the use of a strength-based recovery-focused approach that proactively involves the person.

When you join us in Ailsa ward, you will become part of the wider NHSGGC Mental Health Services and join a large, caring, compassionate, professional team. We work collegiately, focusing on staff development as well as placing importance on caring for staff health and wellbeing. You will be supported through a robust induction, ongoing competency-based training, and continuous professional development (CPD).

The post-holder directly contributes to safe, efficient service delivery and may occasionally be required to work across the mental health in-patient service, providing nursing care to meet the needs of the service.

We are looking for motivated, enthusiastic, caring staff who are committed to providing excellent patient care with a focus on recovery and empowerment and carer involvement.

Ailsa ward is based within Stobhill Hospital in Springburn, Glasgow, with easy links to the M8 and excellent public transport links.
