Description
Job overview
An exciting and rare opportunity has opened up to join our Brent Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) in a band 5 to 6 development role. We will provide you with the opportunities to develop your skills, depending on your needs or interests, to secure your place as a band 6 OT in 12 months' time. We are keen for people to develop in their area of interest to motivate and enrich our team . There is also the support of a broad and experienced senior MDT.
Unusually for a community role, it is a pure OT role with no generic component. We are looking for people who are passionate about occupational therapy and want the opportunity to focus on their clinical OT skills, and who have ideas to grow and develop the occupational therapy provision within Brent community. Once in post you will be afforded the time and space to engage in specialised training and development opportunities to help you become a more enhanced community practitioner.
We adhere to the belief that it is better to grow and develop our own staff; this is demonstrated in the fact that 92% of our senior colleagues were supported and promoted in-house.
The team serves the diverse and vibrant population of Brent, named London Borough of Culture 2020 and 'Council of the Year' at the LGC Awards 2020. The team works flexibly, and staff can situate themselves across various sites within Brent, however the main base for the OT team will be in Harlesden, with excellent transport links close by.
Main duties of the job
Occupational therapists hold a key role within the Community Mental Health Team providing occupational therapy service and expertise; which will include individual and group work , assessment, intervention and evaluation in accordance with the Royal College of Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics.
You will be using MOHO and other evidence-based assessment tools in order to establish a baseline functional assessment from which recommendations can determine further on-going care and treatment to enable optimum functioning.
The role requires integrated evidence-based practice and skilful use of assessments & interventions with personal recovery principles, in order to improve the service users' quality of life and to support them to do the things they want to do and live the life they want to lead.
You would need to be committed to working within recovery principles . The successful applicant will be self-motivated with a desire to work in mental health, and willing to learn and grow within the team.
This post receives supervision from the Community Lead OT (Band 7) and in addition there is a great support network working alongside other OTs, allowing opportunities for Journal club, reflective practice, case formulation using Trauma Informed Approaches, skill sharing and several other projects.
Working for our organisation
To help you achieve the above our developmental role will also offer you;
The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. 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.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
