About Us
Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust and South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust have come together to provide a collaborative specialist inpatient service. The post holder will join a multi-disciplinary team and will be based at either Fieldhead Hospital, Wakefield, or Lynfield Mount Hospital, Bradford. There is an expectation that therapists will actively contribute to service development, training and supervision across both sites.
Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is also part of the governance and assurance group, helping to ensure the effectiveness of the new model for people in Leeds, although the Trust is no longer a provider of inpatient services.
Our ambition is to develop a West Yorkshire Centre of Excellence across these two units, delivering high-quality, specialist inpatient care through a truly collaborative partnership approach. We are equally committed to making this a great place to work, and to achieving this, we need passionate and dedicated people to join us.
We are seeking kind, enthusiastic, caring, compassionate and motivated individuals who want to make a real difference to people’s lives. You will share our ambition to serve communities across West Yorkshire and Barnsley, ensuring people can access high-quality, specialised care as close to home as possible.
