  • contributing to the best possible clinical outcomes by using up-to-date skills and adhering to evidence based policies and procedures when implementing care plans
  • ensuring the people using our services have a good experience by respecting, empowering and working in partnership with people when contributing to the implementation and evaluation of care plans

    The successful post-holder will directly contribute to the positive working environment within the multi-disciplinary team. As a band 3 clinician, the post-holder will be required to account for their practice through regular supervision, appraisal and audit.

    We pride ourselves on having a cohesive Multi-Disciplinary Team and a very positive and innovative culture.

    This post will offer the successful candidate a real opportunity for personal and professional development. As a Support Worker at Collingham you will use essential health care skills whilst also having the opportunity to gain experience of supporting young people in social and recreational activities as well as attending to the environment of the Unit. The job provides many rewarding learning opportunities, and input and innovation is encouraged.

    Although previous experience of working with young people is not essential candidates should have an interest in working with this client group in an inpatient setting, as well as the necessary personal qualities to enable them to function effectively in what can be a challenging environment. These include high levels of commitment, resilience, positivity and personal warmth as well as excellent team work skills. If you can bring this, you will be well-supported in return.
