Overview
We are looking for experienced and adaptable occupational therapists who are HCPC registered.
Key Responsibilities
As part of our Occupational Therapy Service, post holders will manage their own specialist caseloads. Using evidence‑based practice and patient‑centred principles they will assess, plan, implement and evaluate interventions for patients with complex mental health needs.
They will demonstrate excellent communication and leadership skills and an enthusiasm for collaborative practice within a community mental health context. The role operates in a hybrid model, working from home, in the community and office‑based settings.
You can expect to be fully supported through our established system of supervision and personal development programmes. You will have line management and clinical supervision duties for junior OT’s, and have strong commitment to MDT working, clinical governance, CPD and evidence‑based practice. We also fully support undergraduate OT training programmes and regularly accept students on practice placements.
Working Hours & Payment
Recruitment is on the basis of a 36‑hour post and a 25‑hour post, with alternative arrangements possible. As of 1 April 2026, the Agenda for Change full‑time working week will be reduced from 37 to 36 hours per week. Part‑time hours will be reduced pro‑rata. There will be a corresponding increase in the hourly rate so that pay will not be affected.
Note: If this post operates within Aberdeen City Low Emission Zone, the successful candidate will be responsible for all costs associated with entering.
