It’s an exciting time to join our dynamic and innovative team! Do you want to develop your skills, with the backing of a well-developed team and make a difference to the recovery of our patients? If the answer is yes, we want you to join us!
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.
We specialise in the assessment and treatment of men with a learning disability whose offending behaviour and complex mental health needs require care in a low secure setting. This can be a challenging yet rewarding environment and requires excellent organisation skills and the ability to use your initiative. If you are enthusiastic about making a difference and capable of providing positive challenge to the status quo in the interest of service and workforce development, then we want to hear from you.
