Job summary

The Crisis Response and Home Treatment Team based at Hellesdon Hospital; Norwich are seeking ambitious Senior Occupational Therapists to join our existing team.

Our diverse team ranging from assistant practitioners, a hands-on service manager, physician associates, advanced nurse practitioners and more, can offer you the opportunity to develop your skillset, working alongside and learning from senior clinicians in a varied occupational therapy role.

We're proactive and highly skilled at managing risk and supporting service users in Norwich, South, North and Central Norfolk who are presenting in crisis. We're passionate about providing alternative to hospital admissions, so you can expect to be undertaking rewarding, intensive work.

As a senior occupational therapist within the team, you can expect a range of responsibilities including shift coordinator, triaging, assessments, working in home treatment within a community setting without solely holding a caseload.

We split the team geographically and take equal responsibility for caseloads, so you will not hold one independently.

If you enjoy working with high-risk cases, are looking to develop as an autonomous, confident practitioner, then we'd love to hear from you

Main duties of the job

When you join us, you can expect to be supported in building your competence in assessment, there will be a minimum of two-week local induction and a core competency framework to work with, to support you to develop your assessment skills, using evidence-based practice.

We host regular reflective practice sessions, training days and wellbeing workshops, as well as clinical and management supervision. CRHT are quality improvement focussed and have regular interfaces with a range of teams, both internally and externally, including a focus on outreach with primary care.

The shift pattern is long days, 3 per week, including night cover, with 4 days off, we can offer the opportunity to rotate if this is something of particular interest.

We have strong, established professional networks coupled with an exceptional leadership team who will ensure you are truly cared for and cared about.

We're an hour and a half away from London and have an international airport in Norwich too. Our villages, towns and cities are packed full of history, independent cafes, shops and theatres. We have excellent shopping, eating out, top ranking schooling and affordable house prices too.

We can offer you the full range of NHS benefits and in addition:

Flexible working hours Up to 307 hours holiday entitlement (subject to length of service) FREE physio service FREE Yoga and Pilates Cycle scheme tax-free bikes and accessories Support with revalidation Post graduate training opportunities We will pay for your initial DBS check (excluding the annual update service charge of £13) Job description
