Planned health centre would offer occupational therapy services
Tuesday 2nd February 2010
Occupational therapy jobs are among those to be created by the opening of a new hospital in Somerset.
According to the Bridgwater Mercury, the £17 million facility for people with mental health problems is to be built just off junction 23 of the M5 motorway at Dunball.
Up to 170 full-time jobs are to be filled, in addition to 80 part-time positions, with the organisation behind the scheme explaining that there will be 60 beds.
Cygnet Health Care, which was founded in 1998 and is the largest outsourcing provider of acute intensive care psychiatry to the NHS, noted that jobs in psychology will be among those created - in addition to occupational therapy work.
And regional director David Beattie was quoted as saying high-security patients will not be cared for by the hospital.
"We are looking at medium and low-security people, including female mental patients and men with learning difficulties," he stated.
