We have an exciting opportunity for Technical Instructors to join the innovative and "first of its kind" Life Rooms in High Secure.

These exciting posts will be based in Ashworth Hospital within the Life Rooms.

Through The Life Rooms, patients can access:

Social prescribing:
practical one-to-one support in areas of horticulture, leisure-based opportunities, and therapeutic groups (e.g. arts and crafts).

Inclusion:

Technical Instructors work as part of a multi-disciplinary team within the Life Rooms, ensuring effective relationships with patients, delivering a consistent approach to patient care and providing therapeutic interventions, while maintaining operational security.
