We are excited to be launching an updated service after a period of expansion and improvements now offering a 34 bed Recovery and Rehabilitation service for men with enduring mental ill health. Within the service is a care pathway offering an admission ward, a community facing ward, a longer term ward for patients with more complex needs and also a 4 bed flat for patients who are returning to independent living in the community. The site is warm and welcoming with a homely atmosphere.

We are looking to recruit a dynamic, reliable and creative individual to join our Therapy team. The successful candidate will be working within a multi-disciplinary team and alongside other therapists. There will also be line management responsibilities including giving clinical supervision.

The role also includes providing training to staff, running reflective practice, team formulations, writing risk assessments and providing individual and group interventions, to meet the needs of the hospital. We are looking for someone with a creative and compassionate approach, with an enthusiasm for improving the quality of life of patients both whilst they are in our care and as they progress to less supportive environments.
