A Vacancy at Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS FoundationTrust.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate and experienced Occupational Therapist to join our multi-disciplinary Children and Young People’s Learning Disability Service within CWP NHS Foundation Trust. This post offers a chance to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children with severe learning disabilities and those with moderate learning disabilities with additional complexities and behaviours that challenge.
The post holder will work collaboratively with children, families, schools, and community services to deliver person-centred interventions aimed at promoting the child’s functional abilities, mental health, and quality of life. This role involves direct work with children and their families, contributing to mental health assessments, and promoting effective strategies across home, school, and community settings.
The main duties of the job involve undertaking comprehensive and specialist OT assessments with children and young people, who present with complex learning disabilities, mental health or behavioural needs.
In undertaking such assessments, the postholder will liaise with colleagues from education, social care and parents/carers to develop a thorough formulation and understanding of the child’s complex needs, to develop a treatment plan, that is evidence based and goal oriented.
Treatment plans will promote the child’s functioning across all domains including home, school, and the young person’s community, taking into consideration any sensory sensitivities that may impact behaviour. Positive behaviour support strategies will be developed and utilised within the context of your O.T practice.
Work may be delivered individually or in a group setting, working may directly with the child or with their parents or carers to offer advise and support with implementation of suggested strategies.
All treatment plans will be regularly reviewed, evaluated, and modified as required in partnership with CYP and their families/carers.
The post holder will work closely with other members of the MDT, contributing to professional discussion within the team and at multi professional meetings .
They will participate in regular management, clinical and safeguarding supervision.
