You will need to be able to provide a high standard of assessment and intervention for the children and young people that we work with. The post is based within the multidisciplinary Physical and Sensory Pathway whilst working closely with colleagues across the other pathways within CFHD. We are an innovative, dedicated and friendly service with both development and CPD opportunities. You will be expected to have clinical supervisory skills and be able to hold a complex and varied caseload, working across different environments such as home, schools, and clinics.
Key Responsibilities:
Hold responsibility for the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of a caseload within a designated geographical area, within own level of competence and capability. Using a strengths-based approach; ensure clinical effectiveness through the use of evidence-based interventions, goal-based, collaborative practice and Routine Outcome Measures. Deliver specialist occupational therapy advice, assessment, and interventions to a client group of children and young people experiencing a range of difficulties in maximising their occupational performance within different settings. Interventions may include direct therapy, coaching or training, provision or recommendations for suitable adaptive equipment where this is a statutory provision, and provide specialist guidance and recommendations for home or school adaptations. Supervise and support Occupational Therapy Technicians and/or Integrated Therapy assistants. Mentor/clinically supervise newly qualified Occupational Therapists and Band 4/5 staff as required. Participate in the provision of student placements. Promote and support participation of service users across the service. Work across other geographical areas as required to support colleagues according to need and demand. Participate in clinical audits and clinical research as appropriate. For some job holders, part of the role will include assessment and intervention of specialised equipment and environmental adaptations as part of our statutory work completed. Children and Family Health Devon is a system-wide service that delivers an integrated, coordinated support model which wraps around the child, young person and family. It has been specifically designed to respond to all elements of the commissioner's strategy and specification along with the vision and strategic direction of the STP. It builds on our strong relationships across education, health, social care and voluntary sector services in Devon, and, most importantly, it has been developed and refined in partnership with children, young people and their families/carers. Our Children and Young People say... "We would like the people who work for Children and Family Health Devon to be understanding, patient and respectful. They should be trustworthy and make us feel safe and comfortable."
