About the Role
Join a forward‑thinking CAMHS team that puts children, young people and families at the heart of everything we do. As our OT, you’ll lead and innovate across the Thrive Framework’s needs‑led groupings so young people receive the right support, at the right time, from the right people.
Responsibilities
You’ll bring advanced OT expertise in functional assessment, sensory processing, and occupational formulation to co‑create meaningful, everyday outcomes with young people. Working in a truly multidisciplinary, neurodevelopmentally aware, trauma‑informed and strengths‑based way, you’ll design and deliver therapeutic interventions and groups, co‑ordinate care with our partners (schools, social care, voluntary sector), and guide safe, proportionate care planning that fits each person’s goals and context.
You’ll champion quality improvement, and use outcomes and feedback to iterate pathways. You’ll thrive on collaboration, equity and co‑production—elevating young people’s voices while shaping a service that is accessible, culturally responsive and community‑centred. Flexible working across the week (including some evening availability) helps us be there when it matters most.
Assess, treat, monitor and evaluate the progress of the child’s Occupational Therapy treatment, considering the holistic and developmental needs of the individual, and any relevant environmental factors.
Manage own caseload and be responsible for own time management and balance of clinical work and non‑clinical tasks.
Facilitate the improvement and development of the full range of functions (cognitive, sensory, physical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal) of complex young people through the provision of Occupational Therapy Assessment and Treatment.
Provide specialist knowledge and skills in dealing with the needs of children and young people with additional physical disabilities, challenging behaviour and sensory impairments.
What We’re Looking For
Advanced expertise in occupational therapy assessment and treatment, including functional assessment, sensory processing and occupational formulation.
Experience in multidisciplinary, trauma‑informed, strengths‑based and culturally responsive practice.
Ability to design and deliver therapeutic interventions and groups, co‑coordinate care with partners, and guide proportionate care planning.
Strong commitment to quality improvement and use of outcomes to refine pathways.
Flexibility to work across the week, including evening availability, and manage own caseload effectively.
Equal Opportunity Statement
We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves. We believe in equal opportunities and celebrate diversity.
