* The Specialist Occupational Therapist will deliver a high-quality, evidence-based OT service within the Assertive Outreach Team, supporting adults with complex mental health needs. The role involves specialist assessments, interventions, and care coordination, underpinned by the Model of Human Occupation and recovery principles.
