Job Advert Role Description

WE ARE LOOKING FOR TALENTED PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!

Knowing that you’re making a difference to people’s lives is rewarding in itself. But our many roles offer much more than that. As well as helping you grow and develop your talent, we want you to feel proud of where you work and what you do.

The Therapy Services at Kemple View aim to provide bespoke and individualised treatment pathways for male patients with complex mental health, recovery needs and risk profiles. Therapy Services include Psychology, Social Work, Occupational Therapy and education, in both our Low Secure and Rehabilitation and Recovery settings. Therapy services staff work together as part of identified Multi-Disciplinary Teams with our nursing and medical colleagues, using positive psychology approaches with patients that aim to motivate, engage, develop and practice skills to achieve life goals and promote long term change to progress through the identified care pathways.

The opportunity has arisen for a part time Social Worker to join the social work department as part of a motivated and experienced Therapy Services team within a forensic mental health environment. This role would enable the successful applicant to build on their existing skills, develop their knowledge base and work with very complex individuals with both forensic and mental health needs. This role would be suitable for a Social Worker who is kind, compassionate and non judgmental, whilst also being risk aware and able to work methodically, flexibly and enthusiastically. Successful applicants will continue to get opportunities to develop their specialist knowledge of social work within a team ethos, as applied with patients with mental illnesses, personality disorder(s), significant physical health impairments and cognitive impairments including learning disability and communication disorders.

You would also have the opportunity to work closely with the Psychology and Occupational therapy departments, as part of the wider work of Therapy Services. Focusing on "building a life worth living" within a framework of positive psychology approaches in all aspects, and providing supervision to other staff, the successful applicant will be motivated, enthusiastic and share our passion for the work we do. Wanting to work as part of a team is essential.
