Job Advert Role Description
Ready for the recognition and rewards you deserve?
We don't just talk about putting employees first. We know that Priory wouldn't exist without their combined energy, expertise and effort. So we invest heavily in training, provide first-class support, promote collaborative teamwork and give everyone on our team the opportunities and resources to achieve their full potential.
We are looking for a Healthcare Assistant to join our team at Kemple View.
Who are Kemple View?
Kemple View is a 90 bedded hospital split across two service lines – secure and rehabilitation and recovery. We cater to the treatment needs of male patients with a mental illness and/or personality disorder. We aim to maximise an individual's opportunity for recovery, to lead a more independent life back in the community wherever possible.
We have six wards including Low Secure and Locked Rehab for male service users only.
Many of our patients have previously been in high, medium or low security. We aim to work collaboratively with our patients enabling them to take increasing responsibility for managing their own risks leading to a controlled and graded discharge. Where a patient requires greatest support we offer contextual risk management, enhancing compliance and aim to improve their quality of life. We serve the patient, carers and visitors.
Kemple View also has a dedicated and purpose-built ward offering Low Secure Forensic Specialist Older Age service for patients over the age of 50.
A higher profile is given to this patient group's physical healthcare, risk reduction and where required, mobility and daily living aids.
Our Healthcare Assistant will be:
A critical member of the Ward team, supporting and assisting Registered Nurses in the assessment, planning and implementation of patient care. They'll deliver care to the patient as prescribed by the individual care plans and liaising with family members as appropriate.
