• Maintain professional registration and support the implementation of the Allied Health Professions (AHP) strategy.
• Uphold KMPT's policies, procedures, and guidelines, ensuring that the Trust's values are reflected in occupational therapy practice.
• Provide effective supervision, support, and guidance to designated staff and students, prioritising the individuality of service users' views, wishes, values, and beliefs.
• Liaise effectively with service users, family, carers, advocates, and health and social care professionals to ensure continuity of care and delivery of a coordinated service as part of the multi-disciplinary team.
• Ensure all communication adheres to Trust policy and Caldicott/data protection principles, assessing capacity and obtaining informed consent from service users where necessary.
