Job summary

At St Peters Hospital we pride ourselves on our approach to people with the most complex needs. The service offers a structured assessment process for people with complex neurological conditions, often complicated by behaviours that challenge, to support long term care and treatment planning. The service focuses on interdisciplinary formulation of needs and the development of interventions aimed at improving quality of life and using least restrictive approaches with people who may have struggled in community or secondary care placements.

To do this, we need the skills of a diverse MDT. Our therapies teams are at the centre of this approach, working alongside colleagues from nursing, psychiatry and clinical neuropsychology to deliver the best standard of care. Alongside the traditional MDT, we have dedicated activities coordinator role, who supports the planning and integration of the hospitals programme of therapeutic support.

Main duties of the job

St Peters Hospital is a 51-bedded hospital based in Newport, providing services commissioned by NHS Wales and England. It caters for people with organic conditions, including the dementias, Huntingtons disease, alcohol-related brain damage, and acquired brain injury. The people we support and treat often present with behavioural and psychological symptoms, including behaviours that challenge and may have had a history of involvement with the criminal justice system and / or forensic mental health system.

About us

Iris Care Group places a strong emphasis and value on our therapies services and will invest in your ongoing development. You will be part of a large clinical services team across our group, with access to support from multidisciplinary colleagues across all the allied health professions. Research and networking interests are supported and encouraged. We have good links with local clinical training courses and academic centres: the postholder will be encouraged to supervise trainee occupational therapists on placement via our existing links with the Health Education and Improvement Wales commissioned OT training course at Cardiff University.
