Cherry Hospital

A Place of Hope, Care, and Recovery

Cherry Hospital is an accredited state psychiatric hospital, which provides services to the chronically mentally ill population in eastern North Carolina. We are currently seeking a permanent full-time Health Care Technician II to provide nursing care and therapeutic health care to patients who are mentally and physically ill in our Hope & Wellness Center. The primary focus of this position includes but is not limited to mentoring peers, providing direct patient care and ensuring safety of our patients, which is driven by individual patient’s treatment plans.

Cherry Hospital’s Hope & Wellness Center (HWC) uses the “treatment mall” model of service delivery. The treatment mall is a centralized programming area away from each patient’s hospital residential unit where recovery-oriented treatment and rehabilitative services are made accessible to all of the facility’s adult patient population (geriatric, adult acute, extended stay) in an integrated program design. Ultimately, most adult patients from throughout the hospital receive services at the Hope & Wellness Center. HWC programming offerings include, but are not limited to, psychotherapy and educational groups, skill building groups, individual counseling services, peer support services, work therapy, and special activities. All patients and staff re-locate to this centralized programming area as do all patient services such as meals.

The NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is one of the largest, most complex agencies in the state, with approximately 18,000 employees. DHHS manages the delivery of health- and human-related services for all North Carolinians, especially our most vulnerable citizens – children, elderly, disabled and low-income families. Cherry Hospital (CH) is a State-of-the-Art psychiatric hospital located in a beautiful rural area of Goldsboro, NC. Although rural, Cherry Hospital is convenient to the Triangle Area (Raleigh/Durham) and the coastal region of the state. It is about an hour's drive to the heart of Raleigh or the beautiful coastal town of New Bern.

Mission Statement

the greatest need and the least resources.

Cherry Hospital serves the 38 most eastern counties of North Carolina with a mission to serve those with the greatest need and the fewest resources. In earnest efforts to follow our mission, we strive to create a healing environment in which every team member has opportunity to positively impact the lives of those around them and the individuals we serve.
