About the Role
We are looking for an enthusiastic and forward-thinking Band 6 Occupational Therapist to join our Rehabilitation and Recovery service based at Grove Avenue.
About Grove Avenue
Grove Avenue is a mixed gender rehabilitation unit for service users with a primary diagnosis of psychosis, and is part of Steps to Recovery. Grove Avenue provides rehabilitation in an unlocked facility for patients who are either receiving treatment under Section 3 of the Mental Health Act, or informal patients.
Our Service
We offer a specialist service within a rehabilitation environment primarily for people with severe and enduring mental health problems and associated behaviours that require a period of in-patient support. A full range of multi-disciplinary assessments and treatment interventions are offered which have been developed using evidence-based best practice to offer an effective service to service users, collaborating with families and carers. The service aims to provide appropriate therapeutic engagement to reduce symptoms of illness, improve service user social functioning, quality of life moving forward, and assisting service users to achieve their recovery goals and aspirations for the future.
