Job Description:
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
The shift pattern for this position is rotational long days/nights.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Support Worker to join the team at our Adolescent Inpatient Unit in Stobhill Hospital in Glasgow. Skye House is a 24 bed ward, providing assessment and clinical interventions to young people experiencing a range of mental health difficulties. The successful applicant will preferably have experience of working in an inpatient setting and/or working with young people and families. You will work within a large multidisciplinary team, and play a key role in supporting young people in their recovery.
The post-holder will be responsible for supporting the team in delivery of nursing care programmes using a strength-based, recovery-focused approach that proactively involves the young person. The post-holder is required to undertake duties under the supervision and direction of Registered Nurses, working in partnership with patients, carers, and other professionals/agencies in line with legislative frameworks, agreed standards, and clinical policies. CAMHS services are currently developing an Adolescent IPCU and the successful candidate will be expected to rotate across Skye House and IPCU as required to meet patient needs.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024, but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro-rata for part-time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37-hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Recruiting Board.
