    Default job background
    Description

    Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist with the passion, knowledge and skills to work within a specialist mental health service for children living in care? Do you share our ambition to promote the mental health and emotional wellbeing of children in care?

    If this sounds like you, then we would welcome your application to work with us in the Nottingham City Looked After Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CLA CAMHS).

    We are jointly commissioned by Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire NHS Trust and works specifically with children and young people who are in the care of a Local Authority and living with foster carers or in residential care.

    We work with children who have experienced disrupted attachments and developmental trauma. The service supports children and young people directly, and their wider network to create goals and tailor interventions according to their needs using evidence-based practice. CAMHS recognise the importance of the contribution of Occupational Therapists and Allied Health Professionals working with this population.

    Main duties of the job Our multi-disciplinary team includes specialist social workers, a Consultant Psychiatrist, a Clinical Psychologist and an Art Psychotherapist. You will initially need to develop a highly specialist Occupational Therapy pathway, recognising how children's sensory systems and motor skills are affected by trauma. You will provide specialist assessment or signposting to relevant services, alongside supporting the team around a child to help develop strategies to better negotiate life at home and school.

    You will work closely with a range of other disciplines and agencies, including schools, social workers, Police and Hospitals. This will include helping children transition successfully to other services if they move out of Nottinghamshire or when they reach their 18th birthday.

    It is hoped that the post holder has or is willing to participate in sensory training

    You must hold a relevant degree and be HCPC registered.

    You will enjoy close links with OT colleagues within the East Midlands, and benefit from excellent levels of support, supervision, IT and CPD opportunities. About us Nottinghamshire Healthcare employs over 10,000 colleagues who help #MakeADifference every day. We provide intellectual disability, mental health, community health, forensic and offender healthcare services across Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. Care is delivered from over 120 sites within the community from acute settings and across low, medium and high secure environments including prisons.

    As one of the largest mental health and community trusts in the East Midlands and one of the biggest employers in Nottinghamshire. We are also home to national and regional services such as the National High Secure Deaf Service and the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health.

    We are committed to flexible and agile working, including the opportunity to join our bank.

    Your health and wellbeing is our priority and as such we invest significantly in this via our in-house Occupational Health Service, Staff Counselling Service and Health and Wellbeing Team.

    We offer a number of employee-led staff networks, including Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) groups, our Green Champions Network, Freedom to Speak Up Network. Health and Wellbeing Champions Network and Menopause Champions. We provide care to a diverse range of communities and are passionate about supporting diversity and inclusion in the Trust.

    If you believe in our values of Trust, Honesty, Respect, Compassion and Teamwork, then we would love to hear from you
