Place of Safety (POS) is safe area for patients who may be posing a risk to the public with various mental health issues. The police can use the law (the mental health act) to take people from a public place to a 'place of safety' if they seem to have a mental illness and be in the need of care. Place of Safety is a place where mental health professionals can then assess people's mental state and determine whether they require treatment or further support.
It's not a problem if you don't have clinical experience. We are keen to help you to build on your skills. We will nurture your talents and support your development into a confident and competent member of our team.
With excellent communication and people skills, you will reassure those in your care, discussing distressing and sensitive situations in a kind, calm and respectful manner. Helpful and approachable, you will deliver a seamless service and will be eager to assist with queries both face-to-face and over the phone.
As a highly valued support worker the role will involve supporting qualified staff and working closely with patients, carrying out patient observations and providing personal care as required. What's most important is that you have a passion for caring, a warm personality and the resilience to help us transform our patients' lives.
