Our catchment area spans diverse communities, with over 100 first languages spoken. It contains areas of great affluence as well as areas of much deprivation. We are committed to providing services that meet the needs of the people who use them, and we actively encourage involvement from local people who can help make a difference. We’re proud of our diversity and we continue to undertake new initiatives to advance equality for LGBT+, BME and people with disabilities to promote good relations and understanding between our staff.
We are recognised locally, nationally and internationally for providing high quality, innovative healthcare. We aim to employ only the best people, and our experts are frequently called upon to contribute to national health strategy and policy, and many models of our care have been adapted for use in other countries.
We offer a generous relocation package (subject to eligibility assessment) and flexible working options, including bank assignments for most roles. For more information on these and other benefits of working for us, see our Benefits, Reward and Wellbeing page

Trosolwg o'r swydd
An exciting and rare opportunity has opened up to join our Brent Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) in a band 5 to 6 development role. We will provide you with the opportunities to develop your skills, depending on your needs or interests, to secure your place as a band 6 OT in 12 months’ time. We are keen for people to develop in their area of interest to motivate and enrich our team. There is also the support of a broad and experienced senior MDT.
Unusually for a community role, it is a pure OT role with no generic component. We are looking for people who are passionate about occupational therapy and want the opportunity to focus on their clinical OT skills, and who have ideas to grow and develop the occupational therapy provision within Brent community. Once in post you will be afforded the time and space to engage in specialised training and development opportunities to help you become a more enhanced community practitioner.
We adhere to the belief that it is better to grow and develop our own staff; this is demonstrated in the fact that 92% of our senior colleagues were supported and promoted in-house.
The team serves the diverse and vibrant population of Brent, named London Borough of Culture 2020 and ‘Council of the Year’ at the LGC Awards 2020. The team works flexibly, and staff can situate themselves across various sites within Brent, however the main base for the OT team will be in Harlesden, with excellent transport links close by.
Advert
Occupational therapists hold a key role within the Community Mental Health Team providing occupational therapy service and expertise; which will include individual and group work, assessment, intervention and evaluation in accordance with the Royal College of Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics.
You will be using MOHO and other evidence-based assessment tools in order to establish a baseline functional assessment from which recommendations can determine further on-going care and treatment to enable optimum functioning.
The role requires integrated evidence-based practice and skilful use of assessments & interventions with personal recovery principles, in order to improve the service users’ quality of life and to support them to do the things they want to do and live the life they want to lead.
You would need to be committed to working within recovery principles. The successful applicant will be self-motivated with a desire to work in mental health, and willing to learn and grow within the team.
This post receives supervision from the Community Lead OT (Band 7) and in addition there is a great support network working alongside other OTs, allowing opportunities for Journal club, reflective practice, case formulation using Trauma Informed Approaches, skill sharing and several other projects.

OT in CNWL is very fortunate in having a long-established professional structure and this includes an AHP director, Trust wide Professional Head of OT, borough and specialist Head OTs.
Personal and professional development is a high priority for the profession and is underpinned by our OT R&D strategy, R&D specialist groups and OT clinical networks. This enables us to invest in the development of our staff by providing excellent internal training as well as commissioning specialised external training and providing quality supervision. This ensures all our OTs reach their full potential at every stage of their career. Our commitment to research, audit and EBP is made possible by our strong links with local universities.
We actively support the next generation of OTs through apprenticeships, student placements and the promotion of the profession as a career in schools. We are proud of the diversity in our workforce but have invested time in supporting and developing this further through our BAME OT group.
Have a look at this video which was developed from the BAME OT Network and provides further information with what to expect when working as an OT with CNWL, and the support which is offered:
