About the Role
This full‑time Band 6 position sits within the River House Occupational Therapy Team, where you’ll be a valued member of a dynamic multidisciplinary team. You will take a lead role in coordinating a varied therapeutic activity programme in partnership with the ward Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA).
As the ward link OT and a key contributor to the Recovery Hub, you will deliver impactful, evidence‑based interventions grounded in the Model of Human Occupation and sensory‑based approaches. Your work will support service users through their recovery journeys and help shape safe, effective discharge plans.
We are recruiting three Band 6 OTs:

-One Band 6 maternity cover position
Why Join Us?
Collaborative Environment: Be part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team.
Innovative Practice: Use creative, therapeutic approaches tailored to service users.
Professional Growth: Access ongoing opportunities for development.
Meaningful Impact: Play a key role in supporting recovery and independence
As an Occupational Therapist in the service, you would be part of a multi professional clinical team and carry a caseload in the A2 (Acute pathway), Specialist, ARP (Assertive rehab pathway) or OPD pathway (Offender Personality Disorder). You would support the delivery of specialist assessments and recovery focused and occupation-based interventions in line with Royal College of Occupational Therapy national practice guidance. You would also be involved in the delivery of core interventions, taking on the clinical leadership for that hub and supporting any innovation and ongoing service development. There would also be opportunity to support variety of involvement projects within the service and the Forensic Recovery College too.
We are a diverse and friendly Occupational Therapy team comprising OTs, OT Technicians, OT Assistants, Clinical Exercise Instructors and Education Tutors. We offer a range of Recovery Hub based interventions, including Remotivation, Vocation and Employability, Physical Activities and Health Promotion, Creative Arts and Education. We have a café and library which form the main basis for our commercial vocation schemes and have well established links with mainstream employers and a host of community vocation projects. We work in partnership with CALAT (Croydon Adult Learning and Training) to offer a range of accredited qualifications and deliver these in house.
The service is mainly based at the Bethlem Royal Hospital where we support service users within medium and low levels of security both in River House and Chaffinch ward. In addition, we support service users at Ward in the Community which are based on the Lambeth Hospital site in Clapham. We work with men and women who have a range of mental health problems and a history of offending behaviour, which have brought them into contact with the criminal justice system.
