3 months ago


Leicester, United Kingdom Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Therapy Services Department for an Occupational Therapy Assistant. We are seeking a motivated and compassionate individual to join our team.

Therapy Services consists of an established and dedicated team of Occupational Therapists, Support Workers, Support staff, Peer Support workers and Sports, Fitness and Well-being staff. We work together to provide a comprehensive range of interventions to meet the therapeutic needs of the patient group and value diversity within the team.

The Therapy Services team has a strong focus on recovery and patients involvement.

You will have experience of organising and running a variety of activity sessions with individuals and groups. Experience of working in mental health is desirable but not essential. Please read the job specification to ensure that you meet the criteria.

You will receive a comprehensive induction training programme and support to develop within the role. Clinical and managerial supervision will be provided for the post holder from the Senior Occupational Therapist.

These posts would be ideal for people wanting to gain some clinical experience within Occupational Therapy.

Your main role will be to support the Senior Occupational Therapist in assessing and treating patients in one of three designated care pathways - women's, personality disorder or male mental health.

You will lead or co-facilitate groups and individual sessions for patients both within the care pathway and the Therapy Services Department.

There is a wide range of therapeutic groups to help patients develop the skills they need including problem solving, goal setting, transitions and sensory based work.

The occupation focused treatment programmes in Therapy Services cover a variety of areas such as practical, vocational, creative, social and activities of daily living.

We have a huge variety of opportunities in our expansive Trust covering geographically from South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire to Leicester, providing mental health inpatient and community services, community health services, forensic mental health services and secure prison healthcare across the East Midlands.

We have more than 100 sites and a huge scope of unique opportunities to develop your career and gain some amazing experiences. We strive to be a great place to work and offer many staff benefits and tailored staff support and wellbeing programmes.

Do you want to make a difference?

Do you believe in Trust, Honesty, Respect, Compassion and Teamwork?

Then Nottinghamshire Healthcare is the perfect place for you to start, maintain or further your career. Join our team of nearly 9000 who are making a difference every day. We are all about our people - our staff, volunteers, carers, service users and patients. We are NottsHC.

**Therapy Services Philosophy of Care**:
- To be a flexible and needs-led service where patients are provided with a wide range of opportunities and experiences to develop and maintain their skills, promoting lifelong learning and physical and mental well-being.

To facilitate meaningful occupation in order to maximise the individual’s quality of life and recovery whilst minimising potential risks.

To reduce the likelihood of re-offending through helping patients to develop pro-social lifestyles.

To enable integration into the community when appropriate and promote social inclusion.

To provide an inclusive service where the individuality of each patient is respected, giving consideration to ethnic origin, age, background, religion, sexual orientation or personal beliefs and disabilities.

To deliver individual interventions identified and planned by the Occupational Therapist as part of the patient's treatment plan.

To co-facilitate Occupational Therapy led treatment groups.

To lead and/or co-facilitate activity sessions as requested by the Occupational Therapist.

To carry out specific occupation focused assessments such as cooking or community skills.

To provide administrative support for time tables and programme planning.
