The DMHAS, Connecticut Valley Hospital (CVH) is

The work schedule is 1st shift, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through

CVH opened
in 1868 as the State’s public hospital for the treatment of persons with mental
illness. Throughout its history, it has experienced the multitude of
medical, social and political changes affecting such facilities. In 1995,
the Governor and General Assembly through a statewide restructuring of services
for persons with psychological and addiction disabilities called for a renewed
commitment to specialized treatment at CVH by expanding community options for
patients and staff while closing two other hospitals and consolidating
inpatient services here. The hospital became the amalgamation of four formerly
freestanding psychiatric hospitals, four freestanding substance use
disorder treatment facilities, and one maximum security hospital. Then in 2010,
the former Cedarcrest Regional Hospital (with 2 campuses – Cedar Ridge campus
in Newington and Blue Hills campus in Hartford) consolidated services with CVH.
On May 1, 2018, the Whiting Forensic Division of CVH separated, creating two
separate hospitals; Connecticut Valley Hospital (CVH) and Whiting Forensic
Hospital (WFH). Today, CVH is comprised of 17 inpatient units over two campuses
(Middletown and Hartford).
In this role you will discover the opportunity to:
- Build and dismantle shelving units;
- Reconfigure cubicle furniture;
- Rebuild wall partitions, counters, overhead cabinets according to layout, design, map specifications;
- Maintain an organized storage; and

We
participate in a competitive
benefits plan that includes healthcare
