Job description
The candidate will have a qualification in Occupational Therapy and will be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), adhering to Occupational Therapy Standards & Code of Ethics. This is a training position and so all candidates will need to apply for both the trainee role with our organisation and the UCL Post Graduate Diploma in Child and Young Person IAPT Therapy in order to be shortlisted (for more information about the course and minimum entry criteria, please see the course page: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/graduate/taught-degrees/child-young-person-iapt-therapy-pg-dip). Please complete your university application using the UCL University Application Guidance supplied. It is very important to mention which modality/modalities you are applying for and why you are qualified & interested in them. As this is a training position, please be aware that this is a dual application process where you must be employed in a Recruit to Train funded job to also receive a place on the course, and vice-versa. If you are ineligible for the University Course, you will be unable to be offered the role. If you withdraw from an employment offer but you have accepted a university offer, you will be unable to join the course. This role will be best suited for applicants that are able to balance a busy work and study schedule. You will be an employee at the service but also enrolled for 2 days a week on a Postgraduate Diploma course. As this is a Postgraduate level diploma, you will also be required to be able to study and write academic material at this level. Applicants must be prepared to study and write assignments outside of protected study time (such as on weekends and after work). Please note that when you apply to this role, your name will be shared with the Higher Education Institute (HEI) running the course. The service will usually be the Course Teams main way of contacting you until you have been sent an Offer, and so the Course Team at the HEI may ask for information if it is missing but relevant to deciding eligibility. Other information that might be shared is: Reason behind ineligibility for the course. Queries regarding application (such as if you claim to have a professional registration without submitting certificates, course may ask service to pursue more information) Name change if you may have registered with a different name than HEI was given, they will confirm with service to ensure that they are reviewing the correct candidate. This is an integral part of the process to confirm that you have applied to the University and that you meet their course requirements. Please apply to the University at the same time as applying to this job position. If you apply to this job, you are giving permission for information to be shared between the Course Team at the HEI and the Recruitment team at the Service. The only information that is shared will be relevant to establishing eligibility for the job/course. No irrelevant information will be disclosed or discussed in relation to your application. Former EMHP and CWP graduates (or graduates from any other HEE funded course) need to be 2-years post-graduation to be eligible to apply (graduated by January 2020). Please note in this instance the course is not optional; there will be a joint interview process including UCL to appoint to these roles. The roles are dependent on meeting all course requirements. All applicants will need to be available to start in their roles from Tuesday 2nd January 2024.
