What You'll Do:
Your role with us is at the forefront of everything we do; from coordinating recreational groups to assisting in the preparation of assessments for current and future residents, you will be interacting with every department of the Hospital.

These responsibilities include:
- Participation in the application of care plans while ensuring interventions and observations are communicated effectively with senior members of the team
- Assisting in the supervision of other healthcare/support staff
- Maintaining a safe therapeutic environment, beneficial to the needs of residents, relatives, and other carers
- Promoting a positive attitude toward mental health and rehabilitation
- Aside to your hands-on responsibilities, there is also a small amount of administration (Record keeping, booking your holidays, edit/create care-plans, publish/view your hours).
What You'll Bring:
- A practical mindset and willingness to learn
- Clear and confident communication skills
- The ability to follow routines while staying adaptable
- A team-focused approach – flexible for day and night shifts
- Basic IT confidence
Your Experience:
- Experience in any team-based setting
- Understanding of how mental health impacts daily life
- At least 1 year in a support role (preferably mental health related)
- NVQ/QCF/RQF Level 2 or 3 in Health and Social Care (preferred)

- Ability to follow policy, protocols, and take direction
- Flexible and adaptable to change
Who You Are:

Education and Training
We know that healthcare roles often require expensive or confusing certifications. That's why we offer CQC-recognised training, built to educate, not complicate.
- During induction, you'll complete paid e-learning and a 5-day in-person training programme
- You'll have access to up to 11 in-house training courses annually
- Ongoing development tailored to you and the hospital's needs
- Many of our managers began as support workers – we support your career growth every step of the way
