NHS Borders Rehabilitation Service – Mental Health
1. Base: West Brig, Galashiels
2. 18 hours per week
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Occupational Therapist to work within our Rehabilitation Service based in the beautiful Scottish Borders. This Service supports adults with a range of severe and enduring mental illness in the community, in supported accomodation and within the ward setting.
As a Band 6 Mental Health Occupational Therapist you will be working closely with the Band 7 Occupational Therapist and the Occupational Therapy support staff to provide specialist/complex Occupational Therapy assessments and interventions to our patients.
As a multi-disciplinary team (MDT), we aim to provide long-term intensive community focused recovery care, linking patients with their community, providing opportunity for early discharge from hospital or as an alternative to admission. As a small occupational therapy team embedding within the MDT, your remit is to provide structured Occupational Therapy programmes with a combination of individual and group interventions to maintain or enhance mental health recovery and to ensure we provide equity for all patients.
