Occupational Therapist (Band 5)
Cygnet
Date: 4 weeks ago
City: Huddersfield
Contract type: Full time
We are currently recruiting for a Band 5 Occupational Therapist to come and join our team to work across Gledholt and Gledholt Mews and Coach House.
Gledholt is an enhanced community residential service providing outcome focused support for adults with learning disabilities, who may have behaviours that challenge and associated complex needs.
Gledholt Mews and Coach House is our enhanced community residential service for adults with mental health needs, who may have behaviours that challenge and associated complex needs.
Both services are operationally a nurse-led service with both service manager and head of care being qualified nurses. We have an in-house multi-disciplinary team (MDT) who support the residents in our care throughout their journey with us. The team consists of a consultant psychologist, psychology assistant, senior occupational therapist, junior occupational therapist, occupational therapy assistant, activity co-ordinators, nurses and speech and language therapist. We are able to meet the changing needs of our residents as they progress through their care pathway, while ensuring their safety is maintained and their independence supported.
We have a unique care plan pathway called the Visual Discharge Plan (VDP). This approach involves a collaborative process between the individual, their families, and the MDT and staff team. It ensures the person is at the heart of their care and takes into account what’s important to them, whilst balancing this with the clinical need. This puts the resident at the heart of their care and also ensures that discharge planning commences at the point of admission.
Gledholt Mews is divided into two living areas, the main house and the coach house. The main house, which is split across three floors, offers seven en-suite bedrooms, communal lounges and a kitchen on each floor to enable the residents to shop for and prepare their own meals. The coach house is a two bedroom unit giving the individuals we support the option to spend time in their own space or in the main house. Externally there are beautiful gardens to the front and rear of the building with raised flower beds, outdoor seating and plenty of space for sports, games and parties.
