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 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.
