Description

The post-holder will be responsible for the day to day provision, co-ordination and review of engagement, activity and physical health monitoring for patients being nursed within Greyfriars PICU.

This will involve running specialist activities/sessions and taking part in the provision of health and well-being sessions for patients.


We provide a service to our patients 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, so we are looking for flexible people who would like to work on this rewarding service to cover shifts throughout the week at varying times of the day.

We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a diverse range of services.

We strive to support an organisational culture that is welcoming, builds and celebrates inclusivity and diversity and provides a sense of belonging and trust.


The annual NHS Staff Survey gives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust.

For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%).

It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:
89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users;
73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work;
82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority;
76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative


Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West.

However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.
