Haddington, United Kingdom NHS Lothian Full time

NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

This post requires the post holder to have a PVG Scheme membership/ record. If the post holder is not a current PVG member for the required regulatory group (i.e. child and/or adult) then an application will need to be made to Disclosure Scotland and deemed satisfactory before they can begin in post. 

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a permanent Band 6 Specialist Occupational Therapy position in the older adult’s community mental health team. The post holder will provide clinical input into the community mental health team, which covers all of East Lothian, whilst offering leadership and service development to this continual developing service.

This post is based within a multi-professional team consisting of occupational therapists, community mental health nurses, dementia link workers and clinical support workers.

Experience of working in older adults is essential for this position but the clinical skills needed for success could have been gained in a wide variety of settings. You will have the opportunity to use a breadth of core occupational therapy skills for assessment, therapeutic interventions and rehabilitation to maintain people living at home and an understanding of the presentation of mental health conditions and co-morbidity in older people is essential.

You should have excellent leadership and communication skills and experience providing staff supervision. Therapy services support staff development through appraisal process, supervision and CPD opportunities.

The successful candidate for post has the potential to make a real difference to clients, colleagues and influence the contribution of Occupational Therapy within this service; if you think this might be you, we would love to hear from you.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Recruiting Board.
