You will be expected to work with a variety of service users within the community using specialist assessments and interventions. We currently use the Model of Human Occupation within the OT service. You will be expected to complete assessments and provide treatment on an individual and group basis.
You will be responsible for your own caseload, of people who have occupational therapy needs. This involves working with the multi-disciplinary team, other agencies and community services. Empowering patients to promote their own recovery and working towards their goals using your excellent assessment skills and the ability to plan, implement and evaluate care in a MDT setting.
You will need to effectively manage your caseload and be flexible and adaptable to respond to the needs of the service. You will be working under the guidance of a band 7 OT, who will provide you with regular clinical and professional supervision.
You will be expected to provide practice placements for Occupational Therapy students within the trust, as part of the trust wide placement expansion project.

We have recently invested in newly created clinical divisions and are currently developing new models of integrated primary and secondary care for adults and older adults, as well launching a far-reaching inpatient strategy, working to eradicate dormitories and building new facilities.
This ambitious model is multi-agency and multi-disciplinary, opening the door for you to work in a collaborative and flexible way with partners, service users, carers and their families.
