What Happens?

In March / April 2010 we will be running a Pre-recruitment course working in partnership with Greater Manchester West Mental Health NHS Trust to recruit for a Housekeeper / Domestic position.  On successful completion of a 2 week pre-employment training course there is a guaranteed interview for the position.

The role involves cleaning and general domestic duties on a secure, acute psychiatric ward for offenders in the Adult Forensics Secure Unit.  The patients are offenders who have various psychiatric conditions including schizophrenia, paranoia, depression etc so anyone interested in this role must be willing to work with this specific client group. The unit is secure so although the post holder will generally be carrying out cleaning duties the role includes being a key holder and ensuring the safe locking of all doors and responsibility for their own safety and that of patients and visitors.
