Description

Another large part of the role is supporting patients who come in for an assessment, whether that be informally or detained under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act.

It is expected for Team Assistants to monitor and observe the patients, see to their needs, and to escalate any concerns.

Other elements of the role include assisting and supporting the clinicians when needed, responding to the wards alarms, and assisting clinicians in assessments when asked.

The majority of these assessment will be based at the Elgar Unit, however on the odd occasion it can include going out in the community to assess.

We would expect all team assistants to behave consistently with the values and beliefs of the organisation and promote these on a day to day basic.

There is also an expectation that you would act as a role model to colleagues, this ensuring the highest standards of professionalism are always applied.

Throughout the care we provide to patients you will be expected to ensure confidentiality, privacy, dignity and have respect for patients at all times.
