Healthcare Assistant

If you have experience caring for people within a Mental Health or CAMHS environment and are looking for a rewarding career in a brand-new service, then join the new team as a Healthcare Assistant at Emerald Place Clinic in Charlwood, opening soon.

You'll be making a difference to the lives of young people with acute mental health conditions in a newly built service in a unique partnership between Elysium and NHS Surrey and Borders.

Whether you already work in healthcare through the NHS or the private sector, you'll receive full induction training when you join the team, where you will be valued and supported, with career development opportunities available which can see your career grow.

It's a career that you can take pride in while enjoying the satisfaction of helping young people and seeing them improve. It's what delivering great healthcare should feel like.

What you will be doing

You will be part of a new inclusive and supportive team that will work together to provide care to young people with acute mental health conditions where you will use your knowledge and skills to help support young people lead a valued and fulfilled life.

A warm and nurturing environment is supported, allowing for the understanding of symptoms, patterns, and origins of psychological distress, and will actively encourage the young people to personalise bedroom spaces to make these feel like a home from home.

It can be quite a challenging environment at times, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience, and vigilance are important. But it is hugely rewarding to see people improve; being able to do something today that they couldn't do last week because of you.

The shift patterns include working nights and weekends,12.5 hours a day, 3-4 days a week.
