Are you committed to the delivery of high quality patient care; and are you keen to be part of a friendly and progressive integrated community team where your ideas and opinions are valued? An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Occupational Therapist to join the established Occupational Therapy team in Older Adults Mental Health Service. This service supports people with severe and enduring mental health conditions in Towerhamlets. We are looking for someone who understands mental health, can work with individuals with severe and enduring mental health conditions. The post holder will be responsible for providing Occupational Therapy intervention under the guidance of the Senior Occupational Therapist in the community. You need to be responsive, have strong assessment skills with a personalised approach for a wide range of needs/conditions. You will then develop, implement, manage and review the planned recommendations. You will need skills in moving and handling, risk assessing and identifying solutions to reduce risk. You will work closely alongside all members of the therapy team, as well as the wider multi-disciplinary workforce across Towerhamlets, building close links with professionals and services required to wrap around the needs of each individual to provide a holistic approach.

There is also an expectation to support student placements with opportunities to mentor OT apprentices as guided by Senior staff. Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations. Occupational Therapists play a key role in shaping and developing the service provided and so there will be opportunities to develop the role and service in a collaborative approach with multidisciplinary team and the acute settings. As an organisation we embrace continuous improvement and value creative thinking, innovation and continuous learning. There are opportunities to be involved in quality improvement projects co-led with services users to help improve the needs of the population we serve. We recognise the need for development and career progression, so we offer internal and external training courses for clinical development. This advert closes on Sunday 14 Dec 2025 #J-18808-Ljbffr
