Job description

We are on an ambitious journey to achieving a truly co productive approach to working with individuals and their carers. We believe that everyone has strengths, and our mission is to support individuals to maintain their independence so that they can live their lives well, we believe this starts at the point of first contact with the department.

We are looking to appoint a full time occupational therapy technician in the Early Intervention and Prevention Hub (EIPH) which is a short term 'front door' service within the Borough of Bridgend, providing time specific responses in a person centred, strengths based, and outcomes focussed way.

The team is multidisciplinary, the post holder will be required to work collaboratively with the EIPH Team Managers, Senior Practitioners, Nurse, Social Workers, Social work Assistants and Support workers.

The post will work collaboratively with the wider Community Resource Team Health and Social Care practitioners and provide information, advice and/or assistance to people and their families and carers to maintain independence and wellbeing through prevention and building resilience.
