    We're committed to new thinking that improves the wellbeing of our region. We connect with our communities and partners to get mental health care right, in areas that really need it.

    The post holder will provide evidence-based assessment and interventions as part of the OT Pathway and dementia pathway, and offer input to individuals, their families and carers, in inpatient service.

    The ability to engage and communicate with older people and those with dementia and functional disorders as well as the parents/family/carers and system around them is essential.

    The post holder will attend OT Learning and Governance Networks to ensure fidelity to core occupational therapy delivery, enhance CPD and contribute to the wider OT service developments.

    You must be able to demonstrate experience of delivery of occupational therapy, keenness to continually develop themselves and others, and a particular interest in this field of OT.

    There are varied opportunities for training and development, with CPD needs being identified and monitored through appraisal.
