Due to exciting developments within our service, we are looking to recruit a motivated and dynamic Occupational Therapist to join our team into a newly devised Band 5 -6 Development post!

If you are you passionate and enthusiastic about engaging children and young people in creative and fun occupational therapy tailored to them, this job is for you.

The successful candidate will join our community-based multidisciplinary team (MDT) working across Coventry, providing assessment, interventions, advice and education to children and young people aged 0-19 with a Coventry GP.

You'll work in a variety of different settings, including in people's homes, nurseries and in schools. As an OT you'll provide specialised assessment, treatment, and education to children and young people for a range of occupational and functional difficulties with a variety of needs. This includes upper limb splinting and assessments, parent education sessions, school-based treatment, equipment, liaison with the wider MDT, specialised early years assessment, and service development.

This is a brilliant opportunity for an OT looking for a new challenge. Ideally, you will have some experience of working with children or evidence of transferable skills. In addition to this, you will be supported through the completion of a comprehensive competency document to evidence your transition from Band 5 to Band 6.

If you'd like to know more, we would welcome an informal discussion or a department visit.
