Occupational Therapy Lead

There is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and experienced Occupational Therapist with a passion for complex rehabilitation to develop the occupational therapy offer across the Complex Rehabilitation Pathway.

This post has a pivotal role in providing an Occupational Therapy perspective to the clinical model, identifying development opportunities across the service, and ensuring that the occupational interventions are optimised for service users on caseload.

CREST is a part of the mental health complex rehabilitation pathway focused on providing different ways of working with individuals who have spent long periods of time in hospital. The service provides psychologically informed, flexible, individualised packages of care to build service user confidence to live a meaningful life in the community, as an alternative to a hospital complex rehabilitation placement. The service also facilitates system change by providing a consistent approach to community rehabilitation and safety planning that supports more hospital providers to make discharge decisions.
