Application Deadline: 1 July 2026
Department: Site Support Roles
Location: Priory Hospital Woodbourne
Compensation: £8,416 / year
Our dedicated facility, The Manor Ward, provides expert care for a range of needs, including alcohol and drug addiction, behavioural addictions, and a wide range of mental health conditions, within a safe and supportive environment.
What you’ll be doing
- Deliver meaningful 1:1 and group activities to enhance patient’s wellbeing, independence, community participation and quality of life in line with prescribed care plans (including OT care plans) and risk assessments.
- Undertake risk assessment of activities in discussion with senior colleagues and line manager.
- Create weekly activity timetables that provide both structure and flexibility for patients within an inpatient hospital. Activities should support cognitive, physical, and emotional needs, align with patients individualised recovery goals and focus on meaningful leisure, recreational and social activities.
- Planned activities will compliment those therapeutic activities encompassed within a patients care. Therapy remains a priority of engagement.
What you’ll bring to the role
Our work is rewarding but can be challenging, so resilience is key. No two days are the same! Your natural empathy will help you support others through both the highs and lows.
Candidates should have experience gained within a related clinical or therapeutic environment and be confident in building trusting relationships with both patients and colleagues. The role requires the ability to engage effectively with individuals and confidently present or deliver sessions in a group setting. Strong communication, observational, and listening skills are essential, as the position involves regular interaction with staff, patients, and visitors, as well as the exchange of information to support patient assessment and care. The role is based across hospital grounds and within the local community, and flexibility is required as working hours may include evenings and weekends in addition to weekdays.
