Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist with the passion, knowledge and skills to work within a specialist mental health service for children living in care? Do you share our ambition to promote the mental health and emotional wellbeing of children in care?

If this sounds like you, then we would welcome your application to work with us in the Nottingham City Looked After Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CLA CAMHS).

We are jointly commissioned by Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire NHS Trust and works specifically with children and young people who are in the care of a Local Authority and living with foster carers or in residential care.

We work with children who have experienced disrupted attachments and developmental trauma.  The service supports children and young people directly, and their wider network to create goals and tailor interventions according to their needs using evidence-based practice.  CAMHS recognise the importance of the contribution of Occupational Therapists and Allied Health Professionals working with this population.

Our multi-disciplinary team includes specialist social workers, a Consultant Psychiatrist, a Clinical Psychologist and an Art Psychotherapist.   You will initially need to develop a highly specialist Occupational Therapy pathway, recognising how children’s sensory systems and motor skills are affected by trauma.   You will provide specialist assessment or signposting to relevant services, alongside supporting the team around a child to help develop strategies to better negotiate life at home and school. 

You will work closely with a range of other disciplines and agencies, including schools, social workers, Police and Hospitals.  This will include helping children transition successfully to other services if they move out of Nottinghamshire or when they reach their 18th birthday.

It is hoped that the post holder has or is willing to participate in sensory training

You must hold a relevant degree and be HCPC registered.

You will enjoy close links with OT colleagues within the East Midlands, and benefit from excellent levels of support, supervision, IT and CPD opportunities.
