This is a fantastic opportunity to be supported in your continuous professional development and receive supervision from the Band 7 OT Clinical Lead to  support (your) provision of a high quality service. 

This could also be an  exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic Band 5 OT with mental health experience to step up in to that first Band 6 role with the direct supervision and support of the  Band 7 OT Clinical Lead.

If you are excited by the possibility of working within this service we want to hear from you.

At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, we are supportive of the people we care for in the community and aim to provide a fully responsive service to everyone who needs it. This is the same approach we take for our employees. We look to value the skills and experiences of those we work with, whether they are service users, carers, families or those looking to work with us.

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is part of the NHS. We treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards. The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.

Our Staff Survey results showed people at our Trust feel they are engaged, part of a team and work for a compassionate and inclusive organisation.

Our overall scores were better than average in eight of nine themes and level in one - the best overall results for a community, mental health and learning disabilities Trust in the south west and first equal amongst all sector NHS providers within the region too.

If you do not hear from us within 3 weeks of the closing date you have probably not been shortlisted. We are sorry we are unable to let you know the outcome of your application.
