Are you an experienced healthcare assistant with experience with patients with IDD: Is looking for a new opportunity to work in a team that will help develop you to achieve your goals to become the best you can be? Would like a role where no two days are the same, with plenty to keep you engaged and motivated, but also a good amount of routine?
If so, then the Orion Unit at Highbury Hospital Intellectual Disabilities Service is the place to begin or continue your career. We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated healthcare assistant to join our established assessment and treatment team.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced healthcare assistant who has an interest in working within an Intellectual Disability inpatient setting. You will be required to have an NVQ 3 in Health and Social Care or equivalent experience.
You will need to demonstrate an ability to motivate the team, show initiative, work as part of a team alongside a ward based Multi-Disciplinary Team working under the direction of a registered nurse. You will need planning and organisational skills to organise your day to day work tasks or activities to deliver care within the parameters of the patients care plan and give direction to band 2 staff members where appropriate.
You will liaise closely with other health and social care professionals as well as with patients family and carers, therefore excellent communication skills are essential. You may be required to assist in the treatment/activities for patients within the inpatient environment under the direction and leadership of a registered professional which may involve accompanying/escorting informal/formal patients outside the ward environment.
You will be working with a highly motivated team that are committed to Personal and Professional development through Performance Appraisal & Development and Clinical Supervision. Are you a caring individual who has experience and understanding of the needs of people who have an Intellectual Disability and associated Mental Health needs, Personality Disorder, and who have Behaviours that Challenge the Service?
If you are looking to work in a fast paced and at times challenging but rewarding environment please apply or contact the Orion Unit for further details. Please note that this post does not meet the pay level required for a Skilled worker visa.
Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa.

Applicants requiring a Skilled Worker Visa can determine the likeilood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship against the relevant criteria here https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
