Can you enrich the lives of young people as an Occupational Therapist?


 


We are looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist to join our fantastic clinical provision at Underley Garden, Kirkby Lonsdale. As Occupational Therapist, you will implement a holistic, therapeutic approach to helping our children and young people in their daily lives, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and healthy.


This is a great opportunity to join a growing clinical provision, working as part of a team committed to helping children with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure and you will be working in a setting where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where children and young people are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.


 


Our Occupational Therapists play a key role in our wellbeing approach which aims to address the whole person, not just from a purely clinical perspective but starting with biological aspects then moving onto physiological and psychological needs. You will work alongside other professionals to carry out assessments and design & deliver the individual, bespoke, interventions required by the children and young people in our care.


 


Quality is always top of our agenda and we pride ourselves on the quality of what we do. We are looking for an Occupational Therapist who shares our vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable young people in the UK, to be happy and to make their way in the world. You will work collaboratively, attending internal and external meetings and helping to ensure the delivery of a co-ordinated multidisciplinary service.


Already a recognised Occupational Therapist with a relevant degree, evidence of post qualification CPD and HCPC registration, you will be experienced in working with children and young people. ASC experience and knowledge would be great but just as important are the right motivation, personal qualities and knowledge to provide a safe, caring environment where every child can thrive.

As part of Outcomes First Group we are leading our sector in setting and delivering new approaches that provide measurable outcomes for those in our care.


 


Why join us?


 


We offer a friendly and inclusive working environment and the chance to be part of a fantastic multidisciplinary team, who work hard and support each other to deliver personalised, bespoke education & care. Our benefits package includes free parking, shopping discounts and cashback via our ‘Rewards Hub’, and access to content on mindfulness, fitness, recipes and much more as part of our ‘Your Wellbeing Matters’ programme.


 


As well as opportunities for internal promotion, you will have access to high-quality Continuing Professional Development to help pursue your own personal goals. We also offer accredited training programmes including Diplomas and NVQs, supplemented by ongoing learning opportunities.


 


Ultimately, all of our roles give you the opportunity to enrich the lives of young people and make a positive difference.
