About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Occupational Therapist to join our team in shaping the development and delivery of our inpatient Mental Health service. This is an exceptional opportunity to work in a genuinely holistic OT role within an established, collaborative, and supportive team.

Main Responsibilities

  • Manage a defined caseload from the wards, using evidence-based and service-user-centered principles to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate interventions.
  • Plan and implement appropriate discharge and liaison with relevant agencies.
  • Provide leadership for unregistered staff through supervision.
  • Contribute to the maintenance and development of the hospital-wide Occupational Therapy Service.
  • Regularly clinically supervise Occupational Therapy students on practice placement.
  • Work closely with community mental health teams and other care partners to enable smooth transition of care for service users from hospital to the community or to a suitable placement for their needs.
  • Develop skills and knowledge through participation in relevant training and learning opportunities and share this with the wider team.
  • Participate in the supervision and appraisal process.

About Us

Southern Health is one of the largest NHS Foundation Trusts in the UK, specializing in mental health and learning disabilities, as well as offering physical health community-based services. We are committed to providing the best possible healthcare, reaching a range of diverse communities, while placing patients and staff at the forefront of all our endeavors.

Transformation and Integration

We are currently working closely with other NHS Trusts to integrate all our collective community, mental health, and learning disability services. Our new organization, to be known as Hampshire and Isle of Wight NHS Foundation Trust, is set to launch in July 2024. The transformation will happen in staggered stages, with Hampshire CAMHS joining Southern Health in February 2024, and Isle of Wight NHS Trust mental health and community services transitioning in early May 2024. The final combination of Southern Health and Solent Trusts is anticipated to occur in July 2024.

What We Offer

We believe our staff are our most valuable asset, and excellent, well-trained, and motivated staff will help us deliver this transformation, creating a culture of compassion, collaboration, and continuous improvement. We offer flexible working options, job share opportunities, and a supportive team environment. If you are committed to putting meaningful occupation at the heart of engaging with patients and their support network, we would love to hear from you.
