Overview
Are you looking for a change in your Occupational Therapy work? Or wanting to step up into an experienced Occupational Therapy role? The Crisis Resolution and home Treatment Team are looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist to join them in the Buckinghamshire's Mental Health Urgent Care pathway. As a senior Occupational Therapist at one of our partner crisis teams you will focus on inpatient liaison, we have one position in each of the teams, in High Wycombe. In 2020, Buckinghamshire's Mental Health Urgent Care pathway developed to include a Crisis Resolution and home Treatment Team. The aim of CRHTT's is to provide patient-centred intensive care and treatment to patients and their families at home as an alternative to hospital admission. Crisis care is a highly specialist intervention and involves supporting our most vulnerable patients and their families in the least restrictive setting possible, by providing a variety of recovery focused psycho-social interventions that enable the person to regain or maintain independence.
