About the Role
We are looking for a clinical lead occupational therapist passionate about working with adults with learning disabilities to work alongside other qualified occupational therapists and assistant occupational therapists, within an experienced multi-disciplinary team. This post will be a clinical post working in the community directly with adults with learning disabilities, their families and carers. The role will involve working across clinical pathways of mental health and positive behavioural support and liaising with partner organisations. You will contribute to governance within the department, such as audits, and training that the department provides to colleagues. This post is a years fixed term contract covering maternity leave.
This role will be in the community (either seeing clients at base, home visits or at other sites in the community) across Newcastle and Gateshead. Key roles will include consultation, assessment formulation and intervention (both direct and in-direct), functional skills, sensory assessment and contribute to wider clinical work within the team.
