3 weeks ago

Wellington Shropshire, United Kingdom Solent NHS Trust Full time

Are you passionate about unlocking the potential of children and young people and supporting their families in their homes, schools and community life?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a band 5 occupational therapist to join our innovative and friendly Childrens therapy service team in north Hampshire. This post may be suitable for newly qualified occupational therapists and occupational therapists looking to gain experience in paediatrics.

The Occupational Therapy service promotes participation and functional activity of children and young people with varying needs in home, nurseries, special school, mainstream school and clinic settings. We are committed to putting patient care first and we are looking for dedicated professionals who share our HEART values and our passion for delivering high quality care.

Main duties of the job

You will be responsible for providing specialist, evidence-based and outcome focused assessment and intervention. You will support in the delivery of targeted interventions to parents and education settings to enable them to support children with additional needs. The team has a strong emphasis on occupationally focused, family centred and evidence based care and you will have the opportunity to gain skills in approaches such as occupational performance coaching and cognitive orientation to occupational performance, bimanual therapy and constraint induced movement therapy.

You will need to have a degree in Occupational Therapy or be in the process of completing this and hold a professional registration with the HCPC or awaiting this. Previous experience working with children and /or experience of community, learning disabilities or neurology in a qualified occupational therapy role is desirable but not essential as the majority of the clinical caseload is supporting children with co-ordination difficulties and physical disabilities.
