Would you like to use your creative and practical skills to support people to recover from mental illness? Do you enjoy supporting others to do activities?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full time Occupational Therapy Technical Instructor post in the Therapy service based at Bowmere Hospital, Chester. You will be working with adult mental health service users, who are experiencing acute mental illness requiring inpatient care. Occupational Therapy aims to support service users toward independence and safe discharge, using a person centred approach.

This post is full time, Monday - Friday 8.30-4.30pm.

You will be working within a busy hospital environment and enjoy being in a team. You should have had relevant previous experience, and can demonstrate understanding of person-centred care and the 6Cs.

Applicants will be required to have evidence of relevant experience and have an understanding of person centred working and the 6 Cs.
