The successful candidate will be working with patients to provide occupational therapy assessment and intervention on and off the ward. You will assist the Occupational Therapists to plan, design and deliver interventions within the objectives of the treatment plan. In addition to 1:1 interventions you will have an active role in the provision of group activity sessions. You will be involved in the gathering of information from carers, relatives and the wider MDT, attending meetings and providing feedback from an Occupational Therapy perspective.

You will require the ability to work autonomously, implement and follow care plans, which have been developed in collaboration with service users, families/carers, and inpatients staff. You will need to demonstrate excellent interpersonal and organisational skills, be IT literate and have a flexible approach to the role. You will have responsibility of liaising with appropriate organisations promoting patient community links with social groups, charities, vocational work etc.

To assist in the delivery of care to service users who have a variety of needs, diverse presentations and a range of mental, physical health, neurological conditions, cognitive and/or learning disabilities under the direction of a registered practitioner. The overall responsibility for the service user remains, at all times with the registered practitioner.

They will deliver interventions under supervision and guidance from a registered practitioner and as a lone worker where appropriate undertaking delegated tasks within competency boundaries.

They will actively promote service users health and well- being by planning and delivering therapeutic interventions to promote leisure, social and occupational activities, monitoring of physical health, psychological interventions as appropriate to the clinical area. Therefore providing effective person centred care.

Actively engage with the supervision and appraisal process as identified in the trust policy.

They will where appropriate undertake the on-going supervision and delegation of the routine work of support workers guided by standard operating procedures and protocols.

They will provide compassionate care that is based on empathy, kindness, respect and dignity.

They will support the induction, training, education and assessment of trainee or new assistant practitioners, students and clinical support workers. This may include leading and coordinating a team of support workers.

We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future. In return we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.

NHS Employees identified as at risk of compulsory redundancy and those eligible for the NENC Re-Deployment careers hub will receive prior consideration.
