As an Occupational Therapist, you will be a member of the multi-disciplinary team, which includes medical staff, nursing, psychological therapies, and others.
Using occupation as the foundation, and with an emphasis on rehabilitation, recovery, and empowerment, you will contribute to the delivery of assessments, individualised interventions, and therapy/care planning as part of the team. You will be the key worker for a defined number of service users whose primary need is for Occupational Therapy intervention.
If you are a person centred, compassionate Occupational Therapist with experience of working with patients experiencing mental health crisis, then we would welcome your application to join us.

5. Supervising junior staff/support staff to deliver community interventions enabling service users to develop and/or maintain independent living skills and work towards individual recovery and vocational goals.
6. Developing links with statutory and voluntary sector community resources and ensuring that ongoing occupational needs are addressed as part of a safe effective discharge/transfer process.
The Allied Health Professionals and occupational therapy network within the organisation is supportive, providing opportunities for collaboration and participation in development of practice and services and to build your own knowledge base and experience.
