Are you and Occupational Therapist looking for a career working and Specialising in a unique award winning Personality Disorder Service?
Located in the vibrant University City of Cambridge, Springbank Ward at Fulbourn Hospital provides exceptional career development opportunities in the recovery focused care of adults experiencing difficulties associated with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder.
We are currently looking to recruit an experienced, enthusiastic, and motivated band 7 Occupational Therapist to join our Springbank team, to provide an innovative and forward-thinking service as we continue to develop and improve our unique Personality Disorder Service.
Springbank is a 12-bed treatment and recovery focused ward within the Fulbourn Adult Acute In-patient service. With an admission pathway of up to 12 months, we aim to provide a therapeutic environment offering planned care and treatment focusing on Psychosocial Interventions, DBT skills, and individual Recovery Plans.
With a disorder often arising from psychosocial adversity we focus on proactive, targeted interventions focused on supporting individuals to build a meaningful life through engagement in work or other meaningful activity, through established links with the Cambridge Recovery College.
The focus during the stay on the ward is on-going assessment, treatment, care, and recovery, enabling service users to attain a position in which they feel safe and able to take on the challenges that exist for them in the community.
We believe in truly collaborative care, support and positive risk-taking and involve our service users in the decision-making process.
We are seeking to recruit a caring and compassionate Occupational Therapist to provide high-quality care to our patients on Springbank and in return, we will provide you with excellent personal and career development opportunities. As an Occupational Therapist, you will deliver specialist occupational therapy assessments and interventions including supporting access to vocational rehabilitation, occupation focused group work, sensory strategies, reablement work, functional assessments and vocation focussed intervention.
Working within the acute care services at Springbank will give post holders the opportunity to practice a full range of core mental health skills focusing specifically on discharge planning, community liaison and support for service users and carers during the discharge planning process.
