Position Overview & Specifications

Exciting Band 5 and Band 6 opportunities are available in Torbay, Devon, to be part of the acute in-patient mental health Occupational Therapy Team.

The team aims to provide a recovery focused Occupational Therapy service to support people to re-engage with their ordinary lives

Patients have a range of mental health and recovery challenges. You will assess and treat patients individually and use group work in a variety of environments on and off the ward. The successful applicants will be expected to work at a good pace, be flexible and creative in approach and work independently.

We have a new ward opening in early 2023 in Torbay. Salus Ward is sixteen bedded unit, with high-quality facilities and a therapeutic environment which lends itself to occupational therapy interventions.

We have a range of opportunities to join our acute in-patient OT team across Torbay. We are also working with the local acute hospital trust and social care to develop a Band 5 mixed rotation. This will become available in early 2023.

To showcase our new acute ward we are running an Open Day on Friday 24 February 2023 which will also include a CPD session for participants. We are able to offer interviews during the Open Day for OTs who have current HCPC registration.
