About This Role

As an Occupational Therapy Assistant Practitioner, you'll play a vital role in supporting the recovery and well-being of adults with mental health conditions who are transitioning from secure settings into community life.

  • Provide direct support to service users in various settings, including their homes, community centers, and trust facilities, under the guidance of Occupational Therapists.
  • Collaborate with supervising clinicians through regular meetings to review your work and address any emerging needs or concerns.
  • Empower individuals to achieve their full potential by promoting independence and self-care strategies tailored to their unique circumstances.
  • Demonstrate expertise in instructing individuals and caregivers on the safe and effective use of equipment, aids, and adaptations within your scope of practice.
  • Contribute actively to therapy groups by providing support and assisting with their preparation and facilitation.
  • Advocate for service users, ensuring their voices are heard and their choices are respected throughout their care journey.
  • Build rapport with individuals, fostering their engagement and participation in therapeutic activities designed to enhance their well-being.
  • Contribute to risk management assessments under the direction of therapists, adhering to the principles outlined in the Mental Capacity Act framework.
