Our Additional Support Unit (ASU) is located in Exeter and provides a service for men and women aged 18 years and over with a learning disability and a mental health problem whose needs can't be met within mainstream services, despite reasonable adjustments. This is a specialist assessment and treatment service for adults with learning disabilities presenting with acute needs, in crisis.

Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) you will use your skills, knowledge and understanding of learning disabilities and mental health care to assess patients, then develop, implement and evaluate a programme of care for them. As a trust, we embrace the recovery approach, embedding a holistic approach to care. You will be willing to lead, inspiring your colleagues to deliver care that helps patients on the road to recovery.

We provide a positive environment in which to deliver high quality care, therapy and recreation. Our MDT use the framework of Positive Behavioural Support and Active Support, focussing on person centred care and utilising the individuals strength.

This is an exciting time to be joining us as we continue to grow. We’re committed to helping you become the best you can be and offer significant opportunities for development, alongside an attractive benefits package and a rewarding working environment.

About You

You will be passionate about making a difference to people’s lives. You will be responsible for managing and directing the care of vulnerable people we are responsible for. You will use your skills and experience to develop packages of treatment that focus on recovery.

Personally, you will be a clear and confident communicator, capable of interacting and working effectively with people who use our services, their families and carers, staff and stakeholders from all backgrounds.

Working independently, you will make decisions that change lives every single day.
