Healthcare Assistant - Forensic Mental Health

We're an innovative and dedicated multi-disciplinary team, so you'll have the opportunity to work closely with nursing, medical, psychology and occupational therapy team members. We'll need you to be dynamic and committed by actively contributing to and supporting the recovery process, as well as maintaining the high standards of patient care whilst working within a safe, secure and supportive environment.

We are looking for highly motivated, enthusiastic and thoughtful individuals, with an interest in rehabilitation and recovery to join our multi-disciplinary forensic teams at Littlemore Mental Health Centre. We have established very effective ways of working with the patients to help them identify and reach their goals, whilst keeping them safe and supporting them onwards to a new life in the community. We will need you to have excellent communication skills with a flexible and positive attitude. We share a caring, non-judgmental, and inclusive attitude and are committed to the delivery of safe, high quality care. Experience in a secure setting would be an advantage but is not essential as we will provide you with all the training required. If you think you have the right skills and values to offer us at this exciting time then we would very much like you to hear from you.
