Priory announces new specialist service in Chesterfield
The Craegmoor Group is creating 15 jobs in Chesterfield following a £900,000 investment in a new specialist healthcare service.
The Birches will be a specialist rehabilitation provision providing support and treatment for up to seven females with mental health and support needs. The jobs available include both management positions and support workers.
The Birches is a former care home, which is being refurbished to ensure the needs of the new client group can be met. It will offer five en-suite single bedrooms and a two bedroomed flat.
The service will work towards achieving positive outcomes for the individual through a pathway back into independent living.
Keith Bush, an experienced healthcare professional has been appointed to manage The Birches. A Registered Nurse for people with a mental handicap, Keith has a wealth of knowledge and skills in the sector in both managerial and commissioning roles.
He will lead the team of care staff, providing high staffing ratios, and will call on the expertise of the wider Craegmoor Group, as well as accessing treatment and therapy from outside organisations.
Keith said: “The Birches will be a highly-staffed residential facility giving quality care and support.
“Absolutely everything we do at Craegmoor is guided by the people who use our services, their personal needs and the choices they wish to make.
“Only by fully understanding every person's unique needs can we begin to support them effectively and help them fulfill their potential and achieve their goals.
“Everyone we support at The Birches will have their own unique person-centred plan. Each plan is designed to support an individual's personal choices and aspirations and focuses on what is needed to make that happen and achieve the best possible outcome.”
