We are looking for a Therapy Assistant to join our team at Llanarth Court Hospital. Llanarth Court is a forensic psychiatric hospital for patients with Mental Health needs. The role of the Therapy Assistant is to work closely with the Occupational Therapists and the Therapy Team to deliver group and one-to-one occupational, therapeutic, and recreational activities and interventions. The work will take place on the wards, in the hospital grounds, and in the community.
The role includes delivering innovative interventions, as directed by the Occupational Therapists, in order to meet the needs of the individual patient. Interventions range from helping patients learn basic skills such as cooking, laundry, and cleaning to developing more complex life skills and habits. The role will also include evaluation of the progress of the patient, documentation of interventions via clinical notes, and being involved in reducing restrictive interventions (including managing incidents of violence and aggression where required).
We are looking for a highly motivated and creative individual with good communication skills and a desire to make a difference in the lives of the people we care for.
