The postholder will be a valued member of the team and will offer Occupational Therapy assessments and intervention for clients as well as supporting the overall work of the team by providing a named worker role for clients and some team duty cover with support from senior colleagues.
The team consists of medical staff, nurses, social workers, peer support workers, community navigators, arts therapists, employment specialists and psychology staff. The post holder will have opportunity to develop and co-facilitate groups as a part of the psychosocial offer for the hub.
This is an excellent opportunity to develop skills and knowledge in community mental health. The role is full time Mon - Fri 9am - 5pm with an option to work one day a week remotely.

The team will provide you with a friendly welcome and full induction which includes shadowing opportunities and visits to services. The team is based at the South Kensington and Chelsea Mental Health Centre which also houses other services such as the Home Treatment Team, Psychological therapies, an Eating Disorder Service and an inpatient unit for children and adolescents.
We recognise that the step between student and professional needs support so we have invested fully in our Band 5s development through robust supervision, a preceptorship programme and internal training. Success at preceptorship enables further training to become an educator for OT students. Career development opportunities are available and many of our Band 5s chose to stay with us in senior posts.
There are excellent training and development opportunities available within CNWL in addition to local in house CPD opportunities. CNWL is very fortunate in having a long-established professional structure and this includes a Head of Therapies, an AHP associate director, Trust wide Professional Leads for all professional groups and borough and specialist professional leadership.
