An exciting opportunity has arisen for Occupational Therapists with experience of working with young people and their families to work in Tri-borough CAMHS. This is a full-time Band 7 permanent post in the CAMHS Alliance service.

We would be delighted to hear from Occupational Therapists who have some experience working in CAMHS using OT skills and are interested in this role. Candidates who have Crisis and/or Home Treatment experience will be prioritised for this role. The post holder will provide line management, clinical and professional supervision for staff within the discipline, in agreement with the discipline lead.
Role Requirements
We are looking to appoint a CAMH Specialist Occupational Therapist who is able to demonstrate a commitment to creative engagement with a culturally diverse population of young people, shows initiative, is a team player and is able to communicate ideas clearly to both professionals and young people alike.
