Description

We are a friendly team providing Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Dietetic, and Speech & Language Therapy input to the Mental Health Services for Older People (MHSOP) wards across Nottinghamshire.

We are committed to providing person-centred, recovery-focussed care with compassion. If that's something you want to do too, then we would love you to join our team

This role supports the provision of therapeutic interventions to patients on our dementia and mental health wards. The post is based at Millbrook Mental Health Unit, which is currently undergoing an exciting redevelopment.

We actively support career development opportunities and can offer you:

We are looking for someone who is motivated and who can motivate others, who shows empathy and kindness, and who is willing to go the extra mile to support their patients and their colleagues.
