This Occupational Therapist role is ideal for an HCPC registered OT who wants a clear permanent role in adult mental health, with the opportunity to make an immediate impact through practical, recovery-focused occupational therapy.

- Complete occupational therapy assessments and develop practical intervention plans
- Deliver individual and group-based therapeutic interventions
- Support service users to build daily living skills, routines, and independence
- Work closely with the MDT to contribute to care planning, reviews, risk management, and discharge planning
- Maintain accurate clinical records and review progress using appropriate outcome measures
What You’ll Bring
- HCPC registration as an Occupational Therapist
- Degree qualification in Occupational Therapy
- Minimum 2 years’ post-graduate experience
- Experience working in adult mental health, rehabilitation, acute mental health, forensic, complex needs, or community mental health settings
- Right to work in the UK, as sponsorship is not available
