Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist with a passion for supporting Autistic adults in times of crisis or transition? We are seeking an Advanced Occupational Therapist to join our specialist service, working with individuals with Autistic Spectrum Conditions to facilitate safe and timely discharge from inpatient mental health settings and provide support in the community to prevent admission to hospital and or contact with criminal justice services.

This is a rewarding and dynamic role where you will apply advanced clinical reasoning, specialist Autism knowledge, and highly developed OT skills to improve outcomes for Autistic adults across Cornwall.

Manage a defined caseload of Autistic adults using evidence‑based practice, the Occupational Therapy process, and person‑centred approaches.
Carry out advanced assessments, planning, intervention, and evaluation as an autonomous practitioner with regular professional supervision.
Provide highly specialist OT support to individuals experiencing distress, at risk of crisis, placement breakdown, or returning home from out‑of‑county placements.
Work collaboratively within the multi-disciplinary team to support individuals living independently in the community.
Contribute to the planning, development, and evaluation of high‑quality Occupational Therapy services for Autistic adults.
Offer expert leadership to colleagues through supervision, training, and appraisal (excluding formal line management).
Lead on delivering training to health and social care professionals on sensory differences and occupational barriers experienced by Autistic adults.

Working for our organisation

We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you’ll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 5,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people’s homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 10 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increase the numbers of people who use out services.
