If so, there is an opportunity for a new Occupational Therapy Assistant based at Francis Willis Unit. We work with males of working age, detained under the MHA, located at our 15 bedded Low Secure Inpatient Ward for assessment and treatment. You will be working with the Ward Occupational Therapist to offer a range of group and individual assessments/interventions, both within the ward and for those with Section 17 leave, also within the community.
As a valued team member, you will work with service users, carers, the MDT, and external services to promote patients' independence, quality of life, and well-being.
The role sits within the wider occupational therapy rehabilitation service and provides regular opportunities for peer support, as well as ongoing support from the Rehab OT lead. We support and embrace continuing practice development opportunities, including specific training, together with ample peer supervision around the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO), sensory integration techniques, and risk assessment. We are also keen to empower the person who joins our team to feel able to share their own skills, experience, and interests and be part of directly shaping and developing mental health occupational therapy provision in the trust.
If you have any questions or would like pre-application conversations regarding the role, then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
