Are you a registered Occupational Therapist seeking a new challenge?
Oxfordshire’s Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team (CRHTT) provides patient-centred, intensive, short-term mental health support to people experiencing acute crisis, offering a safe and effective alternative to hospital admission. Care is delivered in people’s homes and communities, supporting recovery in the least restrictive environment.
This is a time to join the service as we continue to expand and develop its urgent care offer across Oxfordshire. We are seeking a motivated and compassionate full-time Occupational Therapist to join our multidisciplinary team and contribute to the delivery of high-quality, recovery-focused crisis care.
About the Role
As an Occupational Therapist within CRHTT, you will deliver short-term, intensive, recovery-focused occupational therapy interventions to adults experiencing acute mental health crisis. You will work with individuals and their families in the least restrictive setting possible, supporting engagement in meaningful activity and promoting independence, wellbeing and recovery.
Key Responsibilities
- Complete occupational therapy screenings and assessments for service users experiencing acute mental health crisis, identifying occupational performance strengths and difficulties.
- Plan and deliver time-limited, goal-focused occupational therapy interventions in collaboration with service users, using graded activity and evidence-based approaches to support recovery.
- Manage a designated caseload under the supervision of senior occupational therapy colleagues, addressing areas of self-care, productivity and leisure.
- Contribute occupational therapy expertise to multidisciplinary assessments, care planning and reviews, ensuring care is delivered in the least restrictive and most supportive way.
- Work collaboratively with service users, carers and families, ensuring their needs, preferences and strengths are reflected in care planning and intervention delivery.
- Use occupational therapy models, including the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO), and appropriate standardised and non-standardised assessment tools to inform intervention.
