This satisfying and rewarding role sits within the Community Service Line, which includes all community based mental health teams, such as our Integrated Recovery Hubs, Recovery and Support Teams and Early Intervention services. Our teams are expanding with new and exciting roles following a period of Transformation, resulting in new opportunities for Occupational Therapists (OTs) to work as pure OTs, fully using their innovation and creativity, to support clients with complex mental health needs to recover and step down from Mental Health Services.

We are committed to offering an excellent service and actively promote Occupational Therapy within the teams. The OT will also promote working with our partners in the Involvement Team, to encourage service users and carers to feel supported and involved in the development of our services, as well as developing relationships with wider and external community organisations, such as social prescribers and peer support workers. The Occupational Therapy team across the Trust is well managed with a thoughtful leadership structure. OTs joining the Trust have commented favourably about the accessibility and responsiveness of senior OT managers, who are committed to developing and supporting staff.

The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as 'good' - we aspire to be 'outstanding'. This is a great time to join us.
