Résumé du poste

The Children's Trust in Tadworth is seeking a Specialist Occupational Therapist to deliver high quality, evidence-based, child- and family-centred OT within our neurorehabilitation services, working in a multi-disciplinary and multi-agency setting.

You will conduct specialist assessments, set goals with families and MDT, deliver developmentally appropriate, occupation-focused interventions, monitor progress with standardised outcomes, and contribute to discharge planning and reporting.

Qualifications

• Provide high quality, evidence based occupational therapy provision for children and young people, in partnership with other members of the multi-disciplinary team and education services.
• Undertake specialist occupational therapy assessments of children with a range of needs including highly complex needs.
• Develop therapy goals, in collaboration and with the child and family/carers, as well as the MDT, to maximise recovery and facilitate the participation of the child in their daily life.

• Assess, evaluate, and recommend discharge/transition plans for children/young people within the multidisciplinary team framework.
• Contribute to child related reports, including looked after children and annual review reports as required, and assist with the collation of these as required, in a timely manner and in line with organisational targets.
