Summary
As an Occupational Therapy Assistant, you will support the delivery of recovery-focused, person-centred interventions within the River House OT team, working under the supervision of a qualified Occupational Therapist. You will play a key role in developing and facilitating both individual and group-based therapeutic activities on the wards and in the Recovery Hub.

You may be required to work evenings or weekends and are expected to contribute to quality improvement initiatives, uphold Trust policies, and maintain a professional and safe working environment at all times.
