An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Occupational Therapist to work with the Adult Learning Disability services in Cornwall. The successful applicant will want to work with adults with intellectual disabilities and complex needs in a community setting, as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
This post is part time, working 22.5 hours per week.
Main duties of the job
We work with people with intellectual disabilities in their own homes, their occupational settings or in other health or social care facilities. Our clinical work is framed by the Model of Human Occupation and draws on a variety of frames of reference/ approaches such as Sensory Integration Theory. If you want to work as part of an innovative and forward thinking team, we would be pleased to hear from you.
About us
We're an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people's physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.
Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
