Our current Band 5s has just rotated, and we have a number of vacancies we are recruiting to as people have left or got senior posts in the organisation. We have variety of practice settings for you to build your skill set in mental health. The Trust covers most of Southeast London and the Band 5 roles range from inpatient to community to specialist services.
We offer a regular development and preceptorship programmes to support you in your role as a mental health occupational therapist. It provides a supportive and extensive networking system for all our band 5s. We have an excellent track record of staff starting off on the rotation and growing their careers in the Trust moving on to a variety of senior roles in the organisation.
We have great professional development programmes for OTs and our Band 5s take advantage of a range of these opportunities to build their skill and competence in mental health practice. We work closely with service user and cares not only in clinical settings but as they help us develop our services. See the attached film
