    A vacancy has arisen for a Band 6 Senior Occupational Therapist working within the mental health adult inpatient team, based at the Linden Centre in Chelmsford.


    As the Senior OT, you will have responsibility for the OT provision on your ward, which includes managing individual and group interventions using the VdT Model of Creative Ability, as well as supervising junior OT staff.

You will be working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, including nurses, support workers, psychiatrists and psychology. It is important that you are able to work autonomously whilst adopting a flexible and positive approach.

    The AHP leadership is committed to provide ongoing and continuous professional development for all staff.

    We offer exceptional education, training and development opportunities as well as a wide range of benefits, which include salary sacrifice schemes and the opportunity to buy or sell up to 1 week of annual leave to support a healthy work-life balance.

    Season Ticket Loans
    NHS discounts for staff
    Excellent Training facilities and opportunities
    Buying and Selling annual leave scheme
    The opportunity to work bank shifts and expand knowledge and experience in other areas
    Salary Sacrifice schemes including lease cars and Cycle to Work
