We are looking for passionate and motivated Health Care Assistants to join our dedicated team at our low secure unit at the Brookfield Centre.
We provide mental health support for adults with learning disabilities (LD).
The Tarentfort Centre is a 20-bedded rehabilitation inpatient unit catering for men from the age of 18. It comprises two clinical areas: an acute and sub-acute learning disability forensic.
