Summary
A Vacancy at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust.
Due to exciting developments within our service, we are looking to recruit a motivated and dynamic Occupational Therapist to join our team into a newly devised Band 5 -6 Development post!
If you are you passionate and enthusiastic about engaging children and young people in creative and fun occupational therapy tailored to them, this job is for you.
The successful candidate will join our community-based multidisciplinary team (MDT) working across Coventry, providing assessment, interventions, advice and education to children and young people aged 0-19 with a Coventry GP.
You’ll work in a variety of different settings, including in people’s homes, nurseries and in schools. As an OT you’ll provide specialised assessment, treatment, and education to children and young people for a range of occupational and functional difficulties with a variety of needs. This includes upper limb splinting and assessments, parent education sessions, school-based treatment, equipment, liaison with the wider MDT, specialised early years assessment, and service development.
This is a brilliant opportunity for an OT looking for a new challenge. Ideally, you will have some experience of working with children or evidence of transferable skills. In addition to this, you will be supported through the completion of a comprehensive competency document to evidence your transition from Band 5 to Band 6.
If you’d like to know more, we would welcome an informal discussion or a department visit.
For more information on this role please see the attached support information. This will give you a better overview of the role and requirements.
At Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust (CWPT), we deliver a wide range of physical, mental health, learning disability and autism services, and are proud to serve communities across Coventry, Warwickshire and beyond.
We put ‘people at our heart’; this ethos is at the centre of everything we do and how we do it. We care for our staff and colleagues as much as they care for others and offer a wide range of benefits and development opportunities.
These include:
• 12-month preceptorship
• generous annual leave entitlement which increases during your time with us
• flexible working opportunities
• relocation packages
• excellent learning and development opportunities, including apprenticeship frameworks, distance learning, internal training, coaching and mentoring, and much more

• wellbeing support, including an in-house counselling service, external helpline and more
• staff networks and support groups

You will need to have an Occupational Therapy qualification and HCPC registration and will need to demonstrate flexibility and initiative, to work as part of a Multidisciplinary and Multi Agency Team.
Car owner/driver essential as it is unlikely that public transport will meet the needs of this job.
Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share in this commitment.
We value diversity and welcome applications from all backgrounds.
The post is subject to a DBS.
