Summary
A Vacancy at Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust.
Hello, my name is Justine and I am one of the occupational therapists in the children’s learning disability service within Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust. During my time working for the trust I have worked in various roles, some of which were, ‘non-traditional OT roles, such as a learning disability practitioner. For me, this highlights the leadership within the trust and how it values the skills of occupational therapists and AHPs, in what they can bring to the team as holistic practitioners, using occupationally focussed assessments and interventions to support young people and their families.
The all age learning disability service for adults and children has seen huge transformation and investment in the past few years, I was successful in securing a new post as a lead occupational therapist in the children’s team. Further investment in the service provided us with funding for three further OT posts to work across the ICS with wider multi disciplinary teams.
This means there is now an exciting opportunity for a Band 5 to Band 6 Occupational Therapist development role to work within the children’s Community Fylde and Wyre Learning Disability Team. This is a community role so you must be able to travel independently of public transport. We are looking for a highly motivated and a conscientious team player who has excellent communication and developing clinical skills, looking to build experience in working with children in a community team.
