You will play a key role in supporting patients on their recovery journey within a safe, therapeutic setting.
This position does not meet the criteria required for visa sponsorship and, as such, NHS Grampian is unable to provide sponsorship for this post.

- Deliver high-quality, person-centered care under the supervision of registered nursing staff
- Support patients with daily living activities, therapeutic interventions, and engagement in recovery-focused care
- Work within both IPCU and forensic environments, supporting individuals with complex mental health presentations
- Observe, monitor, and accurately report changes in patient condition
- Contribute to maintaining a safe, structured, and therapeutic ward environment
- Provide support and guidance to less experienced staff where appropriate

- Are compassionate, resilient, and adaptable in challenging environments
- Can work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team
