Job summary

We are seeking an individual who is passionate about working with people who have a varied range of mental health needs.Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Trust is an exciting place to work as an Occupational Therapist, and be highly valued amongst an established Multi-disciplinary Team (MDT), to ensure that we can provide the best outcomes for our patients. We are committed to delivering excellent services, putting occupation at the centre of our work and championing peoples' rights for occupational needs to be recognised and addressed.
This rotation will offer a plethora of opportunities for professional development, with a robust training platform offering mandatory training opportunities, a trust-wide preceptorship and peer support from a developing AHP community through evidence-based practice forums.
The rotational post currently offers the opportunity to work across 2 clinical areas across a 12 month period:
Dova, Mental Health inpatient ward, Dane Garth Furness, Community Mental Health Team
Main duties of the job
To provide routine occupational therapy interventions in order to maintain, restore or create a match beneficial to the individual between the abilities of the person, the demands of her/his occupations in the areas of self care, productivity and leisure and the demands of the environment. (Adapted from Creek 2003).
The post holder works alongside more senior experienced therapist/s to consolidate and develop their skills, and while able to work alone as an autonomous professional, they are supported through regular contact and supervision from the senior therapist/s. They may contribute to the occupational therapy plans for people with complex needs, but are not the responsible therapist in assessing and providing occupational therapy plans for people with very complex occupational needs.
After a period of preceptorship, and following approved training, the band 5 occupational therapist provides fieldwork placements for occupational therapy undergraduates. As confidence and experience grows, the therapist becomes increasingly responsible for the supervision of support staff, and for the delegation of occupational therapy tasks.
The total length of a rotation in each service is 12 months and the services are as follows: Dova, Mental Health Inpatient Ward, Dane Garth and Furness Community Mental Health Team (CMHT).
