A BIT ABOUT US

THE ROLE

As a registered senior clinician, you would be joining a highly motivated, knowledgeable, and innovative OT team. As an employee of St Andrews, you will adopt an inclusive and ‘can do’ attitude in approaching your work.
You will demonstrate a good understanding of OT within secure services, including an application of risk assessment skills. In sharing your experience of applying the OT process, you should also emphasise how you promote our specialism as a profession.
Leadership and highly tuned clinical reasoning are required to lead the therapy provided on the ward together with the experience of being a senior member of the ward team. The job will require you to supervise junior staff, develop others, and take responsibility for projects as required for service development. You will be expected to both lead and attend activities to enhance your continuing professional development.
Continued professional development is supported, with access to a range of in-house CPD events, as well as an expectation to be involved in the development and training of OT students. Further opportunities include networking opportunities with colleagues of the same and different grades within the service and The Charity.
