Work within a competency-based framework to manage an allocated caseload of clients. Gain baseline information from a variety of sources to enable comprehensive client assessment. Work independently or jointly with qualified therapists (dependent on competencies gained and level of complexity), to fully assess client needs including physical, functional, social, and cognitive aspects. Plan, review, and modify treatment directly in line with client goals and outcomes achieved per intervention.
Take responsibility for managing own caseload within required timescales, proactively accessing regular supervision and support to do so. Ensure every contact counts and gain supervision for tasks which are beyond competencies completed. Monitor and progress treatment format in line with clinical needs and client goals, ensuring the use of validated outcome measures with each individual.
Document interventions within Trust standards on System One. Work closely with other members of the MDT in order to provide holistic person-centred care.
Audit response to treatment, develop and modify resources and ways of working in line with current research.
Actively engage in training, supervision, reflection, and annual reviews. Be proactive in accessing support when needed, managing risks as they occur and being responsible for ensuring appropriate level of activity against individual Job Plan.
