We are excited to advertise an exciting Occupational Therapy opportunity within South Warwickshire Older adult service. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive and forward-thinking multidisciplinary team, bringing your Occupational Therapy skills, ideas and creativity to a service focused on improving the lives of Older adults.

As an Occupational therapist within the Older adult service you will be responsible for carrying out comprehensive specialist assessments for clients with complex presentations, including behaviours that challenge. Such clients may be in their own home or in community placements and may require a variety of Occupational therapy interventions.

The role will span both functional illnesses and Dementia, therefore a broad mental health knowledge is essential.

The service received an overall rating of Good by the CQC and an Outstanding for care and compassion of which we are rightly proud. We have also been recognised both locally and nationally by receiving awards for the services we provide.

Fit for the Future 10 Year Health Plan for England (2025) is the main strategic driver for change for Older adults accessing health and social care services. The role will align with expectations for moving service provision from hospitals to the community, as well as with local and national ambitions for integrated neighbourhood teams. Place-based partnerships and integrated neighbourhood teams promote a focus on prevention and integration of statutory and voluntary agencies.

Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust provides a full range of expanding physical, mental health and learning disability services to children, young adults, adults and older adults over many sites across Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull. Services are provided to a population of over one million people living in Coventry and Warwickshire and also a wider geographical area in some of our specialist services, we see on average around 5,000 patients every day.

Visits to the team or questions are encouraged to appreciate this exciting and challenging role.

You will have responsibility for the day-to-day delivery of high-quality Occupational Therapy to individuals, their families and carers through a range of evidence-based interventions. You will undertake specialist assessments and provide interventions designed to maximise recovery, independence and wellbeing, particularly when working with older adults presenting with Dementia and complex functional illness. You will also contribute your specialist OT knowledge to the wider multidisciplinary team and support colleagues through advice, supervision and shared learning.
