Lead Occupational Therapist

Job summary
We are looking for an OT with at least 4 years of clinical experience in mental health, to take up this exciting opportunity for a Lead OT post within in the boroughs of Sutton and Merton. The post holder will work closely with the Deputy Head of Therapies for the Community, and the other Community Leads, to provide professional leadership and governance to occupational therapy staff working across the boroughs.
This rewarding role sits within our Community Service Line, which includes all community based mental health teams, such as our Integrated Recovery Hubs and Early Intervention services. Our teams have expanded with new and exciting roles following a period of Transformation. This has created an environment in which Occupational Therapists (OTs) can at last, work as pure OTs, fully using their innovation and creativity to support clients with complex mental health needs to recover and step down from Mental Health Services.

We use the Model of Human Occupation to provide standardised assessments. We have a manualised evidenced based intervention called GLOW (Graduated Living Outside of the Ward), to provide an individualised intervention and have developed an 8-week group intervention, based on Recovery Through Activity, to promote recovery goals, with the focus of stepping down from services and reconnecting our clients with community resources. We are committed to ensuring that all our community OTs receive basic training in Sensory Profiling, so that we can support clients with additional sensory needs.
The post involves supporting OTs to work closely with our colleagues in the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT), in particular, Recovery Support Workers, Employment Specialists, and our Involvement Team, with whom we have close professional relationships. The role also involves actively recruiting new OT staff for the teams, delivering training and co facilitating the OT forum and RSW forum.

We have built two brand new mental health facilities at Springfield University Hospital, which are amongst the best in the world. More developments are planned across our sites and services.
We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co-produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.
We offer flexible working, career development and a variety ofbenefits to enable a positive, welcoming environment in which our people and their careers can thrive.
Come and join our inclusive teams and help our patients on their recovery journey.
