This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a multi-disciplinary ward team, which is professionally supported by a Band 7 Clinical Specialist OT. There is a mix of band 5, band 6 and band 7 occupational therapists across the acute and crisis mental health service, as well as other professions, including Lived Experience Practitioners and Occupational Therapy Technical Instructors. It is a friendly and supportive team and we welcome new staff and the innovative ideas and skills they bring.

This post provides an excellent mix of opportunities to develop your occupational therapy career.
