Job Description

Overview

We are looking for two enthusiastic and compassionate individuals to join our rehabilitation teams at Thorneywood Mount. This is a rewarding opportunity to support adults with long-term mental health conditions in a structured, recovery-focused inpatient setting.

The service includes:

  • A 12-bed male rehabilitation unit
  • A 6-bed female rehabilitation unit

Both units are designed to help individuals regain independence through therapeutic engagement, personalised care, and strong collaboration with families and carers.

What You’ll Be Doing

As part of the team, you’ll take an active role in creating a positive and engaging environment for patients. Your day-to-day work will include:

  • Planning and delivering meaningful daily activities alongside nursing staff
  • Encouraging patients to participate in both group and one-to-one sessions
  • Supporting therapeutic programmes that promote recovery and independence
  • Organising social events, outings, and ward-based activities
  • Working closely with Occupational Therapists and other professionals
  • Recording patient participation clearly in electronic care records
  • Sharing observations and feedback with the multidisciplinary team (MDT)
  • You’ll also help patients reconnect with their interests by:
  • Exploring their past hobbies and preferences
  • Involving families and carers in care planning
  • Building tailored activity programmes that enhance wellbeing

Additional Responsibilities

With training and support, you may also:

  • Facilitate group sessions and develop your therapeutic skills
  • Contribute to alternative therapies such as aromatherapy or sensory-based activities
  • Liaise with community organisations to expand activity options
  • Support a varied programme of ongoing social and therapeutic engagement

About the Organisation

You’ll be joining a large and well-established NHS Trust with over 11,000 staff delivering services across mental health, community care, learning disabilities, and secure settings.

The organisation is committed to:

  • Creating an inclusive and supportive workplace
  • Promoting staff wellbeing through dedicated services and networks
  • Encouraging professional development and continuous learning
  • Reducing environmental impact and working towards net-zero targets
  • Staff networks and wellbeing initiatives ensure that everyone feels supported, valued, and heard.

Training & Development

You will have access to a range of training opportunities to help you:

  • Build confidence in group facilitation
  • Develop therapeutic and communication skills
  • Deliver high-quality, patient-centred care

This role requires a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. The cost will be deducted from your salary over the first two months:

  • Standard check: £26.40
  • Enhanced check: £54.40

  • Work in a supportive, team-based environment
  • Develop practical therapeutic and interpersonal skills
