2 months ago
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
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.
The shift pattern for this position is 3 days 9 - 5. (Please note the salary is Pro Rata) for part time hours.
We are delighted to be advertising this 0.6 wte band 6 Forensic Occupational Therapist post within our highly motivated and innovative FCMH team. Initially working within the Forensic Community Learning Disabilities team, the post holder will be an independent expert forensic practitioner managing a variety of conditions which are often complex and challenging and provide a specialist occupational therapy clinical lead within a designated area. This will involve specialist assessment, treatment and evaluation on the efficacy of service user care, both individually and in groups, whilst identifying physical, mental and behavioural and risk barriers. Standardised clinical tools based on the Model of Human Occupation will be utilised where the post holder has identified their appropriateness using specialist knowledge.
The post holder will provide specialist professional advice to other disciplines, carers and agencies. The post holder will be required to engage with the wider multi-disciplinary team and to work across agencies to deliver packages of care in the role of occupational therapist. They will require a good knowledge of Occupational Therapy input into risk assessment & risk management, offender behaviour work and psycho-social interventions. The post holder will contribute to the evaluation and development of the occupational therapy service within their designated area with reference to clinical governance, clinical effectiveness and national policies and drivers. This will require the post holder to lead on departmental and team projects. The post holder will be responsible for the day to day management of junior staff as part of supervision systems, including clinical workload and supervision of under and post graduate pre-registration students as required. The post holder will also be involved in the education of other staff and agencies. Driving licence is essential for this post due to the wide geographical area covered across the whole of NHSGGC.
