Occupational Therapist

You will provide specialist occupational therapy assessment and interventions using evidence-based, client-centred approaches to assess, plan, implement and evaluate interventions, with an emphasis on relapse prevention, establishment of meaningful routines, and promotion of recovery.

In collaboration with the ward MDT and patient's families, carers and support networks, you will take a pivotal role in discharge planning for patients, ensuring a smooth, timely transition back into the community. The role includes some OT assessments in home environments to identify OT interventions, equipment and support needs as part of discharge planning.

Group work is an important aspect of the Therapeutic Programme at Langley Green Hospital. The role includes psychoeducational and therapeutic group facilitation and involvement in the development and coordination of the programme.

You will provide clinical supervision and leadership support to others in the OT team, including band 5 OTs, OT clinical support workers, activity worker support staff, lived experience recovery workers, and OT students, fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth.

There is an expectation to be involved in projects and service developments happening within the team, giving opportunity to develop both your own skills and to contribute to continuous service improvements.

We encourage and support learning and professional development. In return for your skills and expertise we can offer you highly rewarding work within an established, innovative, forward thinking occupational therapy team that prides itself on being a supportive team.

We offer regular clinical and professional supervision, and yearly appraisals. We have a robust range of AHP training, OT networking and CPD opportunities, with a strong professional structure in place. You will have access to our fantastic AHP training prospectus, with a range of AHP training opportunities and Communities of Practice including Sensory Processing, Recovery through Activity, Occupational Formulation, and Research and Innovation.

We believe collaboration is key, and encourage and support involvement with innovation and continuous quality improvement projects across the hospital.
