Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated Band 6 Occupational Therapist (OT) to join our Greenwich East Community Mental Health Team. The post is within the Intensive Case Management in Psychosis Team.
The East Locality Mental Health Team operates from its main base in Woolwich which serves an identified catchment area within Woolwich, Thamesmead and Plumstead. Our centre is staffed from 9am until 5pm Monday to Friday.
The post offers an opportunity to contribute to the delivery of Occupational Therapy services within the ICMP ( Intensive Care Management Psychosis ) pathway and to contribute to the development of the overall treatment pathways, ensuring the occupational needs of the service users are addressed and providing an occupational therapy perspective on service delivery.
You will work with specific OT caseloads following the care pathway providing a high standard of service user focused interventions around occupational roles. This role also provides an opportunity to carry out generic and care co-ordination roles as an agreed percentage of your casework.
In applying occupational therapy models you will work from an evidence base and draw upon current developments in Recovery and Social Inclusion. You will need to be committed to a service user focus and be creative in finding ways to help people develop and achieve personal goals. You will also contribute to a forward-thinking group programme and lead on implementing particular groups.
