We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health services to a population of over 1.15 million people, and to a wider population of 2.2 million when regional and national services are included.
The role:
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 6 Occupational Therapist to join our South Glasgow Community Paediatric Occupational Therapy Team, which is part of the wider GGC Specialist Children’s Services. Within Specialist Children’s Services, Occupational Therapy is an integrated and valued part of the multidisciplinary team.
The role will involve providing high quality Occupational Therapy services to Children and Young People aged between 0-18 years old. You will work with children who have varying abilities, needs and conditions: neurodevelopmental disorder, neurodisability and physical disability. The post will involve completing Occupational Therapy assessments, goal setting, evidenced based interventions and reviews to support participation in everyday activities.

You must be able to demonstrate good interpersonal and communication skills when working with children, young people and their families. Additionally, you will be expected to build working relationships with multidisciplinary team colleagues, local schools and nurseries.
