Our Rapid Assessment and Prevention OT Service is Hiring
RAP works collaboratively with GP and Welsh Ambulance colleagues to intervene at the earliest point of crisis with a joint aim to support individuals to avoid the need for conveyance to Accident & Emergency.
About the Role
Our team is looking for a static Band 6 Occupational Therapist to join us.
The operating model has one OT based within the Clinical Navigation Hub at Ty Elai, with two OTs 'roaming' providing patient facing clinical responses. OTs will rotate between being Hub based and roaming, utilising hot desks across the CTMUHB and Local Authority sites to reduce unnecessary travel and network with our in-patient and community colleagues. Primary base for this post will be Clinical Navigation Hub at Ty Elai.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct rapid multi-factorial assessments in individuals' homes to identify what matters to them, to co-produce achievable goals and implement fast pace interventions.
- Work collaboratively with our integrated Health and Local Authority community teams delivering on place based care ethos.
- Prioritise and screen referrals with the aim to offer a same day response. This will include telephone consultation, home based assessment, with scope to complete an additional 2 sessions to support individuals to return home during their acute need.
- Form close working relationships with your integrated primary care and rehabilitation colleagues to handover the episode of care to support the individual to work towards achieving longer term goals.
- Work closely with your Band 7 Clinical Lead, Band 6 OT colleague and Principal Occupational Therapist to implement change at pace.
