Join a high-impact Assertive Outreach Service making a real difference across Southwark. This is a standout opportunity to be part of a dynamic service, supporting people with serious and enduring mental illness through focused, intensive, and creative interventions. Working across community hubs borough-wide, the role offers flexibility in location and approach, shaped around caseload needs. A strengths-based, responsive model sits at the heart of the service—adapting to each individual’s perspective, interests, and changing priorities. As an Occupational Therapist in a Care Coordinator role, specialist skills are central: delivering innovative OT assessments and interventions that actively support recovery. The role includes recovery-focused care coordination and co-facilitation of a varied group programme grounded in an occupational perspective—recognising the vital relationship between person, environment, and meaningful activity. Professional development is a priority, with regular clinical supervision from a Senior OT and strong integration within the Southwark Community OT network. Monthly forums provide space to share best practice, reflect, and drive ongoing CPD.
