The Secure care CBU is a regional service offering care and treatment to individuals who have either mental health, personality disorder or learning disability diagnoses and have come into contact with the criminal justice system. The service works across medium and low secure inpatient wards, the community and prison.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for two Occupational Therapist to join our inpatient team based in Morpeth. You will have responsibility for a caseload; primarily initiating interventions that support pro‑social occupational routines and interpersonal functioning that aid transition into the community. There will be opportunities to rotate and experience each of the specialisms.
You will be supported by a clinical specialist Occupational Therapist, assistant practitioners and the wider team of professionals to develop specialist knowledge and skills to work within this environment with this client group.
