If you are looking for a new
rewarding role in Mental Health Care, WE HAVE GOT THE JOB FOR YOU!
Working in Health Care can be incredibly fulfilling
as it allows you to make a positive impact on people at their most vulnerable
time.
We are looking for experienced, caring and
committed Mental Health Transport Assistants with an engaging approach who are
keen to enhance their skills within the Mental Health sector. Whilst previous
experience is beneficial, it is not a requirement as full bespoke accredited
training will be provided by our dedicated team of experienced trainers.
You will need to be a passionate, empathetic and a
highly motivated individual who thrives working in a close knit team to deliver
exceptional quality care to our patients. We pride ourselves on building
positive professional relationships with our patients and making a true
difference at their time of need. If this is true to your values, then we would
like to hear from you!
This is not just a driving job, it is about taking
the patient on a journey from one setting to another with safety, care,
respect, consideration and empathy to make that transition as smooth as it
possibly can be. There may be times when trained techniques need to be used for
the patients safety, either in a place of safety, a vehicle or other settings.
The job satisfaction comes from knowing that you have played an integral part
in their time of crisis.
