**(Secondment possible with agreement from Line Manager)**

This is an exciting opportunity for an innovative, enthusiastic Occupational Therapist (OT) to join the Mental Health after Covid Hospitalisation service.

The post holder will work within the Mental Health after Covid Hospitalisation (MACH) service, which has been designed to meet the requirements as set out by the Scottish Government Coronavirus (COVID-19): mental health needs of hospitalised patients - report. The service provides a screening clinic, assessment, and treatment in both individual & group sessions, for patients who have been hospitalised with Covid-19. This service is funded until March 2024.

The post holder will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team (Consultant Psychiatry, Clinical Psychology and Occupational Therapy) to ensure co-ordinated care for patients.

The work will be primarily community based and may include working within a patient’s home, clinical settings and remote/virtual working.

There may be a requirement to provide services flexibly to meet the needs of service users (this could include providing services over weekends and extended hours).

Regular supervision and support will be provided as will the opportunity to develop through the use of a personal development plan and appraisal.
