An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced clinician to join our continually developing service. You should be able to demonstrate independent management of a caseload providing assessment, treatment and evaluation of Occupational Therapy for Adults with a Learning Disability in a forensic inpatient setting through excellent clinical reasoning, communication and organisational skills. This post supports the clinical delivery of MDT treatment goals and the rehabilitation and risk management of adults with learning disability and offending behaviour.
Service delivery is based on the Model of Human Occupation and reflects a range of legislation and evidence pertinent to this client group. Working in partnership with service users and a range of partner agencies to collaboratively enable service users to achieve personal outcomes is a key aspect of the post.
You will be expected to deliver clinical supervision and support the development, management and safe operation of the Learning Disability Occupational Therapy Service.
We offer a challenging and stimulating work environment with personal development opportunities, peer review and supervision.
Due to legislative changes from 1 April 2025, this post may require a different level of criminal records check done than is currently the case. If the post is assessed as a "regulated role", your appointment will be subject to joining the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. If there is any change to what is currently required, this will be confirmed by either the Hiring Manager or the Recruitment Team. For more details on these changes please visit: .
NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Recruiting Board.
