Overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Occupational Therapist to join Fife CAMH Service. Fife CAMHS is an innovative service providing evidence based therapeutic interventions to children and young people throughout Fife, who experience severe and complex mental health problems.
Responsibilities
You will join a well established, multi-disciplinary team with the aim of providing effective and timely assessments and therapeutic interventions. You will be required to manage an individual caseload and be able to assess and deliver a range of therapeutic interventions on an individual, family and group basis for children and young people within Fife. You will also be able to demonstrate the ability to work autonomously in a wide variety of hospital and community settings.
Qualifications & Experience
Applications are invited from qualified and registered Occupational Therapists. Evidence of continuous professional development is welcomed alongside the ability to demonstrate skills and competencies normally associated with relevant experience in a Child & Adolescent Mental Health setting. It is essential that you have the ability to travel throughout Fife and respond to the needs of the service.
Additional Requirements
A requirement of this post is to become a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme prior to appointment. To work in the United Kingdom, a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country is enforced by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service. As part of the pre‑employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. You must either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or the post would be eligible to be sponsored before submitting your application.
Employment & EEO
Fife CAMHS is committed to the development of its staff group and actively encourages participation in the NES CAMHS development programme as well as bespoke training based on individual and service needs. The service has a robust supervision structure in place and you will be supported by Allied Health Professionals across the service. We offer flexible working and family‑friendly policies and fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long‑term conditions or who are neuro‑divergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
