Birmingham, United Kingdom Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

A remarkable opportunity has arisen for a band 5 occupational therapist to work within the psychiatric intensive care (ICU) team. The role offers unique and diverse opportunities for personal growth and professional development and sits within the ICU team working alongside a range of multi-disciplinary staff including mental health nurses, health care assistants, activity workers and psychiatrists.


The post holder will work within the established team on the ICU supporting service users on admission and during their progression on the ward, delivering comprehensive occupational therapy assessments, formulation, and interventions, whilst using evidence-based practise to assist in developing individualised care plans, promoting independence and enhancing functional abilities whilst developing innovative ways to engage service users with complex needs. Additionally, there will be opportunities to assess service users prior to admission in external settings for you to provide input from an occupational therapy perspective to the clinical team.


The service users we care for often have very complex mental health needs, and at times may display very challenging behaviour. You will be able to promote the philosophy of Occupational Therapy and evaluate the outcomes of the service.

~ To develop post graduate skills and knowledge through participation in the preceptorship programme.
