London, United Kingdom NELFT NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Exciting changes are happening in our team with great opportunities ahead in our newly Integrated Children’s Occupational Therapy service in Waltham Forest, London.

Are you enthusiastic about enabling children and young people to participate in all areas of life as best they can? Do you have Band 6 or 7 experience of working in children's community services? Then we would love to hear from you

We have an opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated Occupational Therapist. The Children’s Occupational Therapy Team are based in a purpose-built centre, co-located with many other health and local authority children’s services in Waltham Forest. Therapists have good access to clinical space as well as close working relations with the multi-disciplinary teams.

We are looking for an innovative therapist, to work with our team of occupational therapists and support staff, in further developing our service for children and young people, in line with our person centred, goal focussed approach.

You will strive to equip children and young people to develop independence and self management; and to participate in all that supports their leading full and happy lives.

You will be passionate about further developing an effective and responsive integrated service for children and young people and their families/carers in Waltham Forest.

You will be motivated to develop your own learning, contribute to service development and the support, training and development of junior colleagues, peers and students. The successful applicant will thrive on working as part of a team and have excellent communication skills.

Starting with NELFT

NELFT place a great deal of importance on new starters being properly welcomed and inducted into the Trust. All new starters will join the Trust on the first Monday of each month and will undertake a comprehensive induction of up to two weeks which will include mandatory training, systems training and the allocation of equipment. As part of the process new starters will have the opportunity to also meet the executive team, senior managers and attend a number of drop-in sessions focusing on engagement, health and wellbeing and key processes. The induction will be held at our head office in Rainham, Essex.

Probationary Period

This post also attracts payment for High Cost Area Supplement of 15% of the basic salary (with a minimum of £4,313 to a maximum of £5,436 p.a. pro rata for part time).

This post would be suitable for a Band 6 occupational therapist with children’s community experience, ready to take on Band 7 responsibilities or a Band 7 therapist looking for a new challenge.

The successful applicant will thrive on working as part of a team and have excellent communication skills. The role requires close working between 5 band 7s and the clinical lead OT.

There is a well-established appraisal system and a commitment to support staff to develop leadership and clinical skills, through regular supervision and internal and external training opportunities.

You will be motivated to develop your own learning, contribute to service development and the training and development of colleagues and students.
