Job description

Overview

Are you an Occupational Therapist with a passion for supporting individuals in the community? Do you share our Trust values of Togetherness, Responsibility, Excellence and Caring?

We offer a supportive working environment with a focus on staff wellbeing and development. Join our friendly MINT service! We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic OT who is as passionate about caring for our service users as we are to join us to deliver integrated, personalised, place-based and well-coordinated care for adults.

Our Trust is at the forefront of improving the way we provide mental health care in the communities we serve, focusing on supporting people’s mental health, alongside their physical health and social care needs. Our teams work closely with GPs, social services, the voluntary sector and other organisations to offer treatment and care in a more integrated – or joined up way. We are at the forefront of developing and delivering. We have called this new model of community-based mental health care our Mental Health Integrated Network Team – MINT!

Main duties

• To provide a person centred occupational therapy service to a defined caseload of service users, situated within the MINT team with occupational therapists and other multi-disciplinary team members.
• To actively develop and implement a framework of care, which reflects a holistic approach to service user needs, and the seven pillars of clinical governance.
• To use evidence-based principles to apply clinical skills and reasoning in occupational therapy, assessment, treatment planning, intervention and evaluation which include individual and group orientated approaches.
• To be a resource for the team, providing occupational therapy professional guidance, and to lead on the evaluation and continued development of occupational therapy in the MINT service.
• To provide leadership and to take responsibility for the direct supervision of less clinically experienced staff, link and peer support workers and students, including conducting Performance Development Reviews (PDR) as appropriate.
