About the Role
On Sycamore Ward, we are looking for a highly motivated Health Care Assistant to join our experienced and friendly team.
Sycamore Ward is within the building of Hillview Lodge, in the grounds of The Royal United Hospital. Sycamore is currently piloting a 15 bedded all female ward. However, this will return to a mixed gender ward in the very near future.
We are very proud of our service user/carer involvement in the development of our services.
If you are positive, pro-active, and can make important decisions under pressure, if you are a strong team player who is able to take responsibility and work with a service-user centred mindset, then you might be a perfect addition to the Sycamore team.
Responsibilities
- To work as part of a care team to deliver evidence-based interventions to service users with mental health problems.
- To develop and practice, working alongside registered clinicians, a set of therapeutic care skills, making a significant contribution to service users’ psychological, emotional, and social wellbeing.
- To ensure service users and their relatives receive care that prioritises safety, effectiveness, partnership, and hope.
- To promote and champion core care values by supporting junior, temporary, and newly-appointed Healthcare Support Workers.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Community and Team Involvement
We have a very active weekly community meeting that service users, carers, volunteers, and a range of staff attend. This is a great time to get together to share good news and to raise areas that we would all like to work together on to make the ward a safe and welcoming place.
The ward has a clear mission statement created by the MDT. Staff are very active with the safe wards project and reducing restrictive practice. We are currently running a QI project on sexual safety. The ward team has a positive reporting culture, and welcomes training opportunities such as trauma-informed care. Staff also have a very active social support network.
