    The service is open to all children and young people aged 0-19 with a range of needs.

    We work along with our therapy colleagues and other agency partners to deliver a service which supports and promotes the health and development of children and young people who are experiencing barriers to participation everyday occupations.

    These children may experience barriers due to physical disability, social communication challenges or other specific developmental differences.

    Within your clinical role you will demonstrate confidence and competence in delivering assessment and therapy in a range of settings and the ability to provide comprehensive written clinical reasoning in all documentation.

    This enables us to invest in the development of our staff by providing excellent internal training as well as commissioning specialised external training and providing quality supervision.

    Our commitment to research, audit and evidence-based practice is made possible by our strong links with local universities.


    We recognise that Band 6's are the backbone teams, supporting with leadership and managerial tasks within clinical teams and we will therefore support their development both clinically and managerially.

    You will have opportunities to supervise staff, be an educator, support management and have access to both internal and external training.


    As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.

    As a member of the Childrens Integrated Therapies Service, you will be expected to be a competent Occupational Therapist who is able to adapt to wide and varied caseload carrying out therapy in a range of community-based settings across the borough for children and young people from 0-19 years of age.


    You will be part of a community team where your proven ability to work collaboratively with children, young people and their families will support their development and facilitate them in achieving their aspirations.

    This will include being part of an immediate Occupational Therapy team and working with a broad multidisciplinary team and other partner agencies - forming part of network of support around the child and their family.


    You will be expected to work autonomously across the community settings, working jointly with our partner services of Education and Social Care.

    Throughout your working you are required to maintain safeguarding of children and young people at all times.


    Your proficient caseload management and attuned communication skills will enable you to coordinate and deliver therapy effectively and be an effective member of the team.
