Paediatric Occupational Therapist

The Paediatric Occupational Therapy Service works with children and young people from 0 –19 years in the borough of Bury in a variety of settings including clinics, nurseries, mainstream and special schools. The Service works with children with a variety of conditions including children with co-ordination difficulties, neurological impairments, developmental delay and physical disabilities. Some of the children have complex health care needs. You will perform patient assessments to determine a clinical judgement of the patient’s condition/needs. This will ensure that an individualised treatment programme can be developed, implemented, evaluated and modified, ensuring appropriate pathways of care and care and communication via liaison and referral to other agencies as required.
