You will be responsible for the assessment, treatment, implementation and documentation of Occupational Therapy interventions with a nominated caseload as well as being actively involved in staff training.

There will also be the opportunity to increase your knowledge and skills through participation in team and wider Trust continuing professional development programmes and practice supervision with the Trust Therapy Team.
