Job Advert Location Description

The aim at Bristol Priory Hospital is to provide a person-centred approach and therapeutic environment, which promotes collaborative care planning to optimise treatment goals. From admission to our acute services, our aim is to support patients to be discharged safely back into the community where they can continue to progress towards recovery in a less restrictive environment.

This will be achieved by:

• Thorough assessment of individuals' needs throughout admission
• Person-centred collaborative treatment plans
• A range of interventions available from a diverse MDT
• Being cared for in the least restrictive environment

The Rehabilitation ward on site provides patients with excellent space and facilities, including en-suite bedrooms and living spaces furnished with activity equipment. There is a full multidisciplinary team.

Holbrook is a private ward for patients with addictions or general psychiatry needs.

Outside of the wards, there are individual and group sessional therapy rooms. The hospital is set in beautiful surroundings on the outskirts of Bristol.

The clinical team at Bristol Priory Hospital encourages full involvement of the service user, their family, and external professionals throughout their stay. They are invited to attend Ward Reviews and CPA meetings to ensure clear communication throughout the care pathway to promote individuals' recovery and facilitate discharge.

Interventions offered include a wide range of therapeutic approaches, combining psychiatric and cognitive behavioural perspectives with occupational therapy, psychology, leisure, and recreational activity.
