Occupational Therapist Opportunity
Are you a motivated Occupational Therapist ready to make a meaningful difference in low-secure forensic mental health care?
We are offering a 5/6 OT Development post to join our Therapies Team at Francis Willis Unit. Rated Good overall by the CQC following an unannounced inspection in February 2026, Francis Willis was recognised for strong multidisciplinary working, robust governance, safety, dignity, personalised care, safeguarding, inclusive patient involvement and a positive culture of learning and improvement.
An exciting opportunity to be part of a supportive, recovery-focused team where OT is central to helping people rebuild skills, routines, confidence and meaningful roles. You will deliver creative, person-centred assessments and interventions, including individual and group work focused on daily living skills, community participation, physical wellbeing, social inclusion, motivation and recovery. Interventions may include cooking, gardening, walking, gym, music, Recovery College, volunteering and community-based activity.
We are seeking a compassionate, confident and reflective OT with excellent communication, clinical reasoning and risk assessment skills. You will work collaboratively with service users, carers and the MDT to support safe progression through secure pathways and promote independence, choice and hope.
If you are passionate about occupational therapy, forensic rehabilitation and enabling people to live meaningful lives, we would love to hear from you.
