The post holder will provide evidence-based assessment and interventions as part of the Positive Behaviour Support Clinical Link Pathway (CliP), and OT CliP and offer input to individuals, their families and carers, in clinic and community settings. We are looking for an OT who can work flexibly to meet service need and has the vision, energy and inspiration to develop creative, imaginative solutions to working with young people and families. It is advantageous for the postholder to have experience of working with people with a Learning Disability. The postholder will access wider support from the occupational therapy network in CAMHS in TEWV, to develop a way of delivering a high quality, needs-led OT service, utilising core occupational therapy skills to ensure all of the young people have a robust occupational therapy assessment and intervention plan in place. Clinical/Professional supervision is provided by the Lead Occupational Therapist Lead for CAMHS for the Trust. The postholder will attend OT Learning and Governance Networks to ensure fidelity to core occupational therapy delivery, enhance CPD and contribute to the wider OT service developments. All team members must be committed to providing the best possible care for the young people and their families/carers. The successful candidate will be compassionate, enthusiastic and motivated to improve the lives of young people with a learning disability who are presenting with significant behaviours that challenge, whilst also minimising the impact of mental ill health. The successful candidate will be delivering occupational therapy working flexible hours across the entire week. The ability to engage and communicate with children and young people across the developmental spectrum as well as the parents/carers and system around them is essential. They must be able to demonstrate experience of delivery of occupational therapy, keenness to continually develop themselves and others, and a particular interest in this field of OT.
