Service Line: Mental Health Forensic (Low and Medium Secure Services)

Summary of the site:

Cygnet Bury is a large site consisting of 3 hospitals with a combined total of 15 wards. We have a Regional Lead of Occupational Therapy for the site and 3 Head Occupational Therapists for each of the hospitals.

Clinical responsibilities: We are looking for the ideal candidates for a full time OT Assistant role.

You will be responsible for providing direct clinical interventions under the direction of an experienced qualified Occupational Therapist. In this role you will be supervised to assess, implement and develop an Occupational Therapy treatment programme to meet the patients’ needs, to support them with their recovery. This requires working in collaboration with the multi-disciplinary team.  You will carry a clinical caseload over 2 wards. In house and external training is provided (as required) to support you to develop your professional skills within the Occupational therapy profession.
