Cygnet Kidsgrove (Kidsgrove, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire):

Cygnet Hospital Kidsgrove is a new hospital for women in Staffordshire, opening in May 2025. It will have two wards: a 20-bed Acute service for women and an 11-bed Highly Specialist Personality Disorder Rehabilitation service.

Crocus Ward offers a 20-bed emergency acute inpatient service providing a safe environment for women experiencing an acute mental health episode requiring emergency admission. The ward's ethos is to assess and treat women in the least restrictive environment, with a focus on stabilisation, managing mental health, reinforcing daily living skills, and preparing for independent living.

Our team collaborates closely with individuals, families, and referrers to ensure a seamless pathway from referral to discharge, with a recovery-focused approach supported by a multidisciplinary team to reduce hospital stay lengths.

Burleigh Ward is an 11-bed highly specialised service for women with personality disorders and complex needs, providing assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation in a therapeutic setting tailored to individual security needs. The goal is to equip women with skills and confidence for community reintegration, with a multidisciplinary approach including occupational therapy, social work, and vocational training.

This role offers a unique chance to support Occupational Therapy services at Cygnet Kidsgrove, with clinical supervision provided by the onsite Occupational Therapist.
