Occupational Therapist (Social Care Direct Response)
City Wide
Salary: £40,501 - £47,639
Hours: 36 per week
We are looking to recruit a highly motivated and enthusiastic Occupational Therapist to join our Occupational Therapy service within Assessment and Care Management.
EHSCP has undergone a significant management re-structure which has aligned service delivery into distinct areas. As part of this, we have reviewed the roles we need to meet future challenges and ensure our workforce is supported to deliver high-quality care. This is an exciting time for the service as we continue to take forward a range of improvements designed to achieve better outcomes for people while also creating a positive place to work. Occupational Therapists will play a pivotal role in delivering these ambitions, ensuring people are supported to live well and independently.
You must be a qualified Occupational Therapist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, bringing the skills and experience required to work both autonomously and as part of a wider team. You should have experience in assessing needs, planning and delivering interventions, and supporting individuals to achieve their goals. You should have a sound understanding of practice that promotes independence, choice, and wellbeing. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are essential, as you will often be required to make complex and sensitive decisions, while working collaboratively with colleagues, partners, and the people we support. An understanding of the governance and assurance mechanisms within which the HSCP operates is desirable
This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.
We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience. Disabled and care-experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.
