Trosolwg o'r swydd

We seek a dedicated and compassionate Mental Health Support Worker to join our esteemed Ward at the Alderney Hospital site in Poole. This opportunity is within our female dementia ward, Herm, which has received an outstanding rating.

Our wards excel in providing top-notch assessment and treatment for older individuals with Dementia and BPSD (Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia). Recently, we were honoured with the National Gold Standards Framework recognition, earning the title of 'ward of the year.' Joining us means gaining invaluable experience in Dementia healthcare, encompassing both physical and mental aspects. The Herm ward caters to up to 23 mental health patients.

We're seeking individuals driven to make a tangible impact on the lives of those living with dementia. Key qualities for this role include passion, empathy, strong communication, and excellent teamwork. While prior experience is advantageous, it's not a prerequisite as comprehensive induction training will be provided, along with ongoing support from our seasoned teams. Additionally, there are ample opportunities for career advancement within our organization.
