Summary
The post holder will deliver a specialist Occupational Therapy service within an Assertive Outreach function embedded in Harrow Community Mental Health Hubs (CMHH), providing evidence-based, person-centred assessment and intervention for adults with severe and complex mental health needs who are at risk of disengaging from services. The role focuses on direct clinical care, managing a small, high-intensity caseload and delivering time-limited, intensive interventions through proactive and persistent engagement. Practice will be guided by Assertive Outreach principles, including flexibility, collaborative risk management and a strong focus on sustaining engagement. The post holder will work with individuals presenting with high levels of complexity, including disengagement, medication non-adherence, recent admissions, housing instability, substance misuse and escalating risk. They will deliver occupationally focused, strengths-based and trauma-informed interventions to support participation and recovery, within a structured outreach model that includes clear goals, outcome measurement and planned step-down to routine CMHH care. Working both autonomously and within a multidisciplinary team, the post holder will contribute specialist occupational perspectives to care planning and deliver high-quality, coordinated care in partnership with service users, families and carers.
