Are you an Occupational Therapist who strives for excellence and wants to make a real difference? Join our pioneering trauma-informed community mental health team in Harrow.

This role offers the opportunity to deliver a specialist Occupational Therapy service within an Assertive Outreach model, working with adults experiencing severe and complex mental health needs who are at risk of disengaging from services. You will manage a small, high-intensity caseload, providing proactive, person-centred and evidence-based interventions focused on engagement, recovery and meaningful participation.

You will work with individuals presenting with complexity such as non-engagement, recent admissions, substance misuse, housing instability and increased risk. Using a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach, you will support people to rebuild routines, roles and independence, within a structured framework that promotes clear goals and measurable outcomes.

Working both autonomously and as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will contribute your specialist occupational perspective to care planning while delivering coordinated, compassionate care alongside service users, families and carers.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an innovative service and make a lasting impact in a dynamic community setting.


Provide specialist Occupational Therapy assessments and interventions for individuals experiencing significant occupational dysfunction, including barriers to participation and limited access to meaningful roles. Deliver intensive, time-limited assertive outreach support with frequent, proactive contact during periods of risk or disengagement, using creative and flexible approaches to maintain engagement.

Plan and deliver interventions within a structured framework with clear goals, outcome measures and transition planning. Contribute to risk assessment and management, balancing positive risk-taking with safety in complex presentations. Manage referrals autonomously within the multidisciplinary team, including prioritisation and delegation.

Apply Occupational Therapy models such as MoHO alongside evidence-based approaches to guide practice. Use outcome measures to evaluate impact and inform care planning. Ensure service users remain central to formulation and goal setting, involving carers where appropriate, and provide culturally responsive, inclusive care.




CNWL (Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust) has almost 8,000 staff providing integrated healthcare to a third of London's population, Milton Keynes and areas beyond. We involve service users, carers, the public, staff and partner organisations in the way that we are run.

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
