As an Occupational Therapist, you will support our patients to engage in self-care, productive and recreational groups.

You will work alongside the Occupational Therapist and members of the multidisciplinary team to identify the patients' Occupational Needs.

You will be responsible for observing, recording and reporting Patients involvement in 1:1s and groups. You will observe and monitor the well-being of patients ensuring that any unusual physical, mental or emotional occurrences are promptly referred to more senior staff and documented as appropriate.
