Overview
Hi, I'm Shani the team manager, and I'm really pleased you are looking at this opportunity. The Community Enhancing Recovery Team (CERT) was established in 2023 and offers intensive support to service users within the Enhanced Pathway. The main focus of the service is to assist people who are in longer term hospital back into the community. The team has expanded to include people who are being considered for locked rehabilitation, with the aim of actively increasing their support in the community and avoiding admission. Working with the care coordinators, the right candidate will provide additional support for the person. The OT role in the team is to create care plans with the MDT and then work closely with the OTA and support worker in CERT to deliver this care.
Role and responsibilities
* The OT will use assessment skills and specialist knowledge to help prevent admission and implement rehabilitation at home away from locked rehabilitation units.
* You will create links with local community groups and work as a collaborative part of the MDT around the person.
* You will input into care reviews meetings and may be required to in-reach to local inpatient units and locked rehabilitation units.
Required skills and qualities
* Caring, compassionate, patient, and the ability to listen to the person’s goals and aspirations.
* A desire to make a difference to someone with complex emotional needs, and to work in a trauma-informed way.
