Job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen within Children and Family Health Devon's (CFHD) Integrated Physical & Sensory Pathway for a Band 7 Occupational Therapist to join our specialist 0-18 Occupational Therapy Team on a permanent 0.65 WTE basis.

The 0-18 Team provides occupational therapy support to children and young people aged 4-18 years with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) across Devon. We work closely with children, families, schools and wider professionals to deliver outcome-focused assessment, intervention and reviews.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Occupational Therapist looking to further develop their assessment, leadership, goal-setting and intervention skills within a highly supportive and experienced team. This role offers the opportunity to work as an autonomous practitioner within a flexible and supportive team, with agile working across home, office, school and community settings. Unlike many paediatric occupational therapy roles where opportunities for ongoing treatment can be limited, this role offers the chance to deliver and evaluate interventions over time, supporting children and young people to achieve meaningful outcomes within their educational and daily living environments.

Relocation expenses will be considered for this post in accordance with the existing Devon Partnership NHS Relocation Policy. A copy of the policy can be provided to interested applicants on request.

Main duties of the job

The role involves managing a varied caseload of children and young people from primary school age through to Year 13, delivering interventions in schools, homes, clinics and community settings across Devon.

The post holder will work as an autonomous practitioner, using advanced clinical reasoning skills to assess, plan and deliver evidence-based interventions. The role also includes supervision and support of Occupational Therapy colleagues, service development activity and contributing professional advice and reports for SEND tribunals where required.

Many of the children and young people supported by the team experience sensory processing differences. Our practice is informed by sensory integration principles where appropriate and is combined with a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches that focus on participation, school occupations and the development of independence and functional life skills. Sensory Integration training is welcomed but is not essential, and we actively support staff to develop specialist knowledge and skills. Significant post-graduate Sensory Integration training opportunities can be offered to the successful candidate.

If you are looking for a role where you can develop your intervention and leadership skills, make a genuine difference to children and young people's lives and be part of a welcoming and innovative team, we would love to hear from you.
