Band 6 Occupational Therapist
4 weeks ago
Job summary
An exciting opportunity is available for a motivated and innovative Band 6 Occupational Therapist looking for a new challenge to work within our Assertive Outreach Team.
The Assertive Outreach Service is a multidisciplinary team that adopts a person-centred approach, focusing on individual recovery. We work with adults aged 25 and above who have severe and enduring mental health conditions, particularly those who historically avoided contact with services.
As an OT in our team, you will have both generic and specialist responsibilities, providing OT specific assessments and interventions to individuals on the team caseload. The role requires undertaking community-based interventions in non-NHS facilities to work with people who are generally poorly engaged within their own communities. Collaboration and active working with third sector providers are also important aspects of the role.
You will have the opportunity to develop activity programs to engage individuals in meaningful occupations and facilitate psycho-social and psycho-educational workshops. This will aid in the development of service user-led, occupationally focused recovery plans for individuals and empower them in their recovery journey.
The Assertive Outreach service operates over 7 days per week, 365 days per year. Our shift patterns consist of day shifts (9:00am - 5:00pm), late shifts (12:00pm - 8:00pm) and weekends (9:00am - 5:00pm). However, we can offer flexible working arrangements during these hours.
Main duties of the job
Main duties of the job
You will work within the framework of the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) to offer specific occupational therapy assessment and intervention. This will be goal orientated, focussed on developing positive routines, addressing difficulties with motivation, and looking to support individuals in developing self-management skills and strategies to maximise independence. You will empower and enable individuals to access community resources which support their social, employment, educational and recreational needs and goals. This will involve working closely with third sector agencies. You will produce reports and offer specialist advice regarding housing and support needs based on the outcomes of assessments and discussions with service users and their families/carers. AOT's adopt a whole team approach to the care of service users, meaning that there is a shared responsibility towards the team caseload. You will hold a small caseload of no more than eight service users and will need to have excellent time management skills to care coordinate as well as prioritise and manage referrals for occupational therapy. You will provide coaching and support to recovery workers within the team, delegating where appropriate, to offer meaningful engagement and opportunities for individuals to build upon social skills and work towards their goals. The ability and willingness to travel across the Birmingham & Solihull area for work purposes is required for this role.
