A Vacancy at Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust.
We are welcoming a Band 5 (B5) Occupational Therapist (OT) to join our Adult Community Mental Health Hubs (CMHH) with the aim of becoming a Band 6 (B6) OT following successfully passing a 12-month development plan. We want you to bring your unique blend of experiences, backgrounds, perspectives and knowledge to our OT team as diversity makes us stronger.
We are keen to support staff in their development and have created opportunities through our B5 development scheme. We want to hear from those who feel ready to progress from B5 - B6, or newly qualified OT’s with potential to develop to a permanent B6 within 12 months of employment, pending upon successful completion of the developmental plan.
Our Preceptorship programmes offer you the opportunity to consolidate your knowledge and core skills as an OT while extending your confidence scope of practice in a safe and supportive work environment. You will be offered regular shadowing, networking and supervision from OTs and within the team as part of your development journey. You will have regular meetings and supervision with a senior member of the OT team, who will support you with the progression of your development plan.
You will have an OT-specific caseload, consisting of assessment, groupwork and individual interventions as well as contributing towards our Community Psychosocial Therapies offer with our Psychology colleagues. We work within the Recovery Framework, encouraging independence, social integration and the achievement of personalised goals.
You will have the opportunity to use your skills and creativity to contribute to the development and implementation of treatment programs, pathways and initiatives in order for us to deliver high quality, evidence-based interventions that improve service users' functional abilities, independence and overall quality of life.
Applicants must have a qualification in Occupational Therapy and be HCPC registered in order to be considered for the post.
We are committed to offering you an environment you can flourish in, which includes dedicated development opportunities as well as a healthier work life balance. We will offer you:
• A 12-month development plan
• Free access to our Staff & Wellbeing services
• Our benefit packages are amongst the best in London & include childcare vouchers, health & wellbeing services, season ticket loans, cycle to work schemes, blue light card & much more!
• Commitment to career mapping to ensure continuous professional development including opportunities within the Trust.
CNWL has a long-established professional structure, including a Head of Therapies, an AHP Associate Director, Trust-wide Professional Leads for all professional groups, & Borough and specialist professional leadership. This has the huge benefit of ensuring representation of our profession and therapies as a whole at all levels - both strategically & operationally.
The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
This post is an opportunity to work in the Adult CMHH service as either a newly qualified OT or an existing B5 OT. The post will offer an additional support programme to develop the post holder to become a safe and effective community mental health OT.
The post holder will be supported to develop the skills to be ready to move into a B6 OT position.
The support programme will provide the following:
• Work-based support & supervision.
• Additional support from the CNWL Education Team.
