Job overview

If you’re looking for flexibility while also becoming a valued, regular part of a highly skilled and compassionate forensic mental health team, we would love to hear from you.

We are seeking Bank Support Workers to join us at the Hellingly Centre, our medium secure forensic inpatient service supporting adults with complex mental health needs who require care in a secure environment. Our service provides specialist assessment, therapeutic intervention and structured rehabilitation for individuals whose needs cannot be safely met in community settings.

You will be joining a service rated 'Good' by the CQC, and one that is committed to delivering safe, recovery‑focused, trauma‑informed care. Our aim is always to support people to progress safely through their secure care pathway and return to less restrictive environments as soon as possible.

Although this is a bank role, we are particularly looking for people who can offer regular shifts, helping us provide consistent, relationship‑based support, something that is central to helping our service users feel safe, understood, and empowered.

Main duties of the job

As part of the team at the Hellingly Centre you will:

• Work alongside the multi‑disciplinary team (MDT) to deliver structured therapeutic and rehabilitative programmes.

  • Support assessment of service users’ needs and contribute to individualised care planning and risk management.

  • Carry out delegated clinical duties safely and competently.

  • Accurately record information and work within agreed plans.

  • Help individuals build confidence, daily living skills and independence within a secure environment.

  • Support service users with daily routines, meaningful activities and personal care where appropriate.

Working for our organisation

Our service and wider Trust has been rated as 'Good' by the CQC and our aim is to help people return to the community as safely and as quickly as possible.

We’re a large NHS Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Trust in South East England. We’re looking for people to help us provide high quality services for the patients, carers and local communities we serve.

We want patients and staff to recommend our organisation as a place where they would be happy for their friends and family to be treated. You can help us do this by bringing your skills, experience and commitment to Sussex Partnership.

What We Offer:

·       A welcoming, supportive and knowledgeable team environment where teamwork is at the heart of everything we do.

·       Training and development opportunities as you become a more integral part of the team.

·       Opportunities to work flexibly while still building consistent relationships with service users.

·       The chance to make a real difference to people’s lives and see the impact of your support as individuals develop and move forward.
