Job summary

Fenland Adult Locality Team is the community mental health team based in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. We are a small team, looking for a full time Occupational Therapist (OT). This is a new post within the team, and you will be overseeing the OT pathways, ensuring a smooth flow for the patient journey. This will include occupational, functional, sensory and reablement pathways. You will be managing and overseeing the waiting list for all pathways, assessing patients, working with the support workers who work under the reablement pathway, providing supervision where appropriate. You will also be crucial in ensuring this workstream is imbedded within the team, to provide a holistic and cohesive approach for the patient, while they are under our service.

The occupational therapist will apply a high level of understanding of the effects of mental and physical health conditions on occupational performance; providing training and advice on lifestyle changes and adaptions to the service user's social and physical environment.

The role works collaboratively with service users to promote vocational rehabilitation and act as a team resource/specialist in vocational rehabilitation and employment.

The occupational therapist will contribute to the delivery of specialist occupational focused interventions including sensory integration/ approaches and enabling/reablement approaches.

The occupational therapist will ensure that all care planning will involve the service user and where appropriate the carer, collaboratively identifying, pursuing and reviewing goals in the context of care planning.
