Join to apply for the Occupational Therapy Assistant role at TouchConsult.
This is an exciting opportunity to work within a well-established, staffed, resourced, and respected Occupational Therapy service (OT) with patients diagnosed with severe mental illness or personality disorder.
The post is based within a high-security, forensic hospital environment and offers great development opportunities for the OT service to work with patients in assessments and treatment sessions throughout their stay in the hospital.
The hospital has moved to a new, bespoke, and modern high-security forensic hospital, focusing on innovative care for a challenging patient group. We emphasize multi-professional teamwork, risk reduction, and offending behavior management.
We seek a resourceful, motivated individual skilled in engaging patients and teamwork. Opportunities for progression include a professional route, an Occupational Therapy apprenticeship, or skill-based learning tasks for patients.
The post holder will assist qualified Occupational Therapists in delivering assessment and treatment sessions, mainly group sessions but sometimes one-on-one, both on and off the ward.
The hospital offers various services to meet patients' changing needs at every recovery stage, and your work will support this process.
Refer to the Candidate Pack for key tasks and responsibilities, and the person specification for required qualifications, skills, experience, and knowledge. The full person specification is available for review.
