Description

The Wellbeing Service is a separate service but work closely with the Mental Health Team and wider Healthcare team to achieve a trauma informed approach for people who have experienced considerable hardship and/or have been victims of torture or human trafficking.

As an active member of the wider Healthcare Team within the centre, the role may at times involve multidisciplinary team working with other health professionals such as Nurses, Mental Health Nurses, Psychologists, Pharmacists, Physiotherapists, Dentists, Opticians, Psychiatrists and GPs.

The post holder may also be working with other centre staff such as Serco, the Home Office, Beyond Detention or Befrienders.

The Wellbeing Service consists of two counsellors.

The post holder will be involved in daily processing of referrals for the Wellbeing Service and will provide short-term counselling for mild to moderate low mood, stress, worries, sleep hygiene, and general wellbeing for men and women in an immigration removal centre in 1:1 and group format with or without translators.

There will be an opportunity to be involved in the development of new holistic wellbeing strategies.

NHFT is an integrated primary care and mental health Trust, providing physical, mental health and specialty services in both hospital settings and out in the community.

Because we put the person at the centre of all we do, we focus on delivering care that is as easy to access as possible.

This means many of our services can be provided at home, work or in schools. We also provide health services to various prisons and detention centres in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

NHFT promotes a culture of learning to improve the care and safety of our patients and staff, which focuses on people who enable our Trust to be 'outstanding' by supporting opportunity, innovation, development and growth.
