We are looking for a motivated, confident, friendly person who is happy to work in a busy and sometimes pressurised multi disciplinary team. We need someone who understands the importance of maintaining an occupational focus in the team and be able to advocate the value of activity in people’s recovery journey.

It will be useful for you to have an awareness of how severe and enduring mental health issues impact on people’s daily lives. You will need to have an awareness of how to record and manage risks associated with working in a mental health setting. You will need to be responsible for an Occupational Therapy caseload and prioritising cases where appropriate.

There will be plenty of opportunities for personal and professional development. You will be supported by receiving regular clinical and professional supervision. You’ll have the chance to work in a creative and innovative team who are constantly striving to improve the quality of their work and outcomes for those they work with.

To provide occupational therapy service to service users who have a variety of occupational therapy needs, diverse presentations and a range of mental health conditions under the direction of a more experienced member of Occupational Therapy staff.

To manage and provide ongoing assessment and intervention for service users.

To consider carer needs and ensure carer and family are involved in intervention planning where appropriate.

To develop and deliver evidenced based Occupational Therapy intervention in collaboration with service users and carers where appropriate.

The post holder will work as a member of the multi-disciplinary team ensuring that high quality, individualised care is delivered which ensures safety and a commitment to promoting recovery and wellbeing and maximising independence.

To provide compassionate care that is based on empathy, kindness, respect and dignity.

To provide clinical supervision to staff members as delegated by Clinical Lead.

To incorporate a client centred philosophy into clinical practice and client centred collaborative care.

We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future. In return we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.

Please see the attached job description and person specification for further information regarding the post, as well as the essential and desirable criteria required to be met by applicants.
