NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
We will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
This post requires the post holder to have a PVG Scheme membership/record. If the post holder is not a current PVG member for the required regulatory group (i.e. child and/or adult) then an application will need to be made to Disclosure Scotland and deemed satisfactory before they can begin in post.

We are looking to welcome an enthusiastic Occupational Therapist, with a keen interest in mental health, into our team. The North West Thrive Welcome Team is based at Craigroyston Health Clinic in Edinburgh and serves a diverse client group aged between 18-64.
The team is multi-disciplinary and multi-agency. Colleagues include Nurses, Social Workers, and Third sector organisations, with links to psychology and Psychiatry. The OT role addresses an individual’s occupational needs, with the aim of improving their quality of life and aiding their recovery. This varies between different individuals, resulting in an interesting and rewarding role.
This role is one of 3 band 6’s within the team and will be part of the North-West Edinburgh Community Mental Health and Substance use OT Team. Colleagues are based in the CMHT and the substance use team. There are strong links with other Community OTs across the city. This is an OT specific role, using MOHO to frame our practice.
We are keen for you to contribute to the development of our service and offer various development opportunities – including Decider Skills training, supporting students, participating in audits, supervision, and group work.
We are looking to hear from HCPC registered Occupational Therapists from a range of backgrounds and are open to considering individuals with experience working in physical settings. You would need to travel within the locality.
If this opportunity sounds interesting and you would like more information, please contact OT Team Lead Lisa Spalding at [email protected] or Tel: 0131 315 2121.
