Description
We are currently recruiting for an Occupational Therapist within North East Merton IRH team. Our satisfying and rewarding roles, sit within the Community Service Line, which includes all community based mental health teams, such as our Integrated Recovery Hubs and Early Intervention services.
We are using the Model of Human Occupation to provide standardised assessments. We have a manualised evidenced based treatment called GLOW (Graduated Living Outside of the Ward), to provide an individualised intervention and have developed an 8-week group intervention based on Recovery Through Activity, to promote recovery goals, with the focus of stepping down from services and reconnecting our clients with community resources. We are committed to ensuring that all our community OTs receive basic training in Sensory Profiling, so that we can support clients with additional sensory needs.
The post involves working closely with our colleagues in the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT), in particular working with Recovery Support Workers and Employment Specialists, with whom we have a close professional relationship, invested in supporting clients with their occupational goals. We are committed to offering an excellent service and actively promote Occupational Therapy within the teams.
The OT will also promote working with our partners in the Involvement Team, to encourage service users and carers to feel supported and involved in the development with our services, as well as developing relationships with wider and external community organisations, such as social prescribers and peer support workers. The successful candidate will be offered professional supervision from their Lead Occupational Therapist to focus on their development, and line management supervision from their team manager. If an experienced Band 5 feels ready for a development opportunity to progress to a Band 6, please do apply.
Career Progression pathways and development opportunities
New OTs will be welcomed into our friendly and supportive Occupational Therapy service. There are many opportunities to develop your career within the Trust. We have an Occupational Therapy Framework, focusing on four main areas: career development, evidence-based practice, partnership working and putting occupation at the heart of our practice and an AHP Framework in the Trust.
We are Proud to Belong at South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust.
We have expert services, a rich history and a clear commitment to providing the best quality care for those with mental ill-health. The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as ‘good’ - we aspire to be ‘outstanding’.
This is a great time to join us. We are transforming the way we care for our communities to support our mission of Making Life Better Together. We have built two brand new mental health facilities at Springfield University Hospital, which are amongst the best in the world. More developments are planned across our sites and services.
We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co-produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.
We offer flexible working, career development and a variety of benefits to enable a positive, welcoming environment in which our people and their careers can thrive.
Come and join our inclusive teams and help our patients on their recovery journey.
