| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @OTEllenUK Oh I'm so jealous. #bakeoff is hard to watch here in Australia. Stuck behind pay walls #otalk |
 | Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC Let’s get started! Question 1: what are the main factors influencing/ that did influence your first post as a newly qualified? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Excellent question. |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @93SophieC I went with private practice that could offer me a range of clients with good support. Also I loved community OT in my placements #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @93SophieC #otalk I went with my gut! I had applied for an NHS posts & Social services post, got interviews. I hate interviews. I was offered both post. Told lady at NHS my situation & she said can you make a decision I have other people to call. #shockhorror!! Ok hello social services 👋🏾 |
 | Colleen Beck @TheOTtoolbox My first position was in 2000 and jobs were hard to find in my location at that time. I did land a position that offered a well-rounded experience in a variety of settings. It turned out to be a wonderful first job! #OTtalk |

| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @OTEllenUK Yes the type of role as well at the population we want to work with is a big decision that placement can give us insight into #OTalk |
| Ben Kirkwood 🏳️🌈 @OT_BenK @93SophieC I think so as I found placements you really did get to see OT in action compared to uni theory based work. It also allowed me to learn about diffrent models of practice and ways of working! #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @sherlynmelody What a great approach, anywhere you go with enthusiasm will always be a positive learning experience ! #OTalk |
 | Enable Me Solutions- OT & Case Management Services @CarolineSturdy @93SophieC #OTalk all my placements were NHS so naturally I felt like I should apply for a rotational post. 6 yrs later moved to housing & I've been in the community every since. When I trained there weren't many SS placements so I never experienced it as a student. Is that the same now? |
 | Chloe Dickson @chloedickson_ @93SophieC My first post was influenced by my final placement as a student. Loved my time in paediatrics and was desperate to go back. Was so lucky to get my job in my final placement #otalk |
| Sherlyn 🤔⭐️(she/her) @sherlynmelody @93SophieC #otalk I found that to be the case with all my placements. I was enthusiastic coz I really wanted to be the best OT 😆 It was a career change for me and my dream job. |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC Question 2 coming up.... What are the possible benefits and challenges of entering a static, third sector post as a newly qualified practitioner ? I definitely had some FOMO (fear of missing out) at first ! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Another good question. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @margaretOT360: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Wow half way through already! #otalk https://t.co/Ar60Qi2FvW |
| Ben Kirkwood 🏳️🌈 @OT_BenK @93SophieC I feel for me going in to a static post works as I take a long time to settle and process things and I feel I can grow my confidence and specialise in an area I’m interested in. Compared to doing a rotation which I don’t think I’d settle or feel as confident as I am now #OTalk |
| Ben Kirkwood 🏳️🌈 @OT_BenK @93SophieC Yet some times I feel doing a rotation gives you more experience in all areas of OT and and different practices and way of working 🤔 #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @93SophieC So far in loving it! So much learning and growth in a short amount of time #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Not necessarily. #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @hspenceruk: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @SusanGriffiths5: |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @JasminLaffy Yes definitely @JasminLaffy , lots of opportunity for growth in a short space of time #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @EllieOTforKids @93SophieC Yes I feel this as well. It seems like people strive for the rotational positions of of uni. I wanted a steady position I could gain solid experience in. But I questioned if I was missing out several times #otalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @LGOTSeashell Good point @LGOTSeashell - every job is still a great learning opportunity! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @annabhg2: |
 | Alison Janes @kaleidoscopier @93SophieC My 1st job post qualification was public health community development/health education - v different from practice placements but pre-training I worked in the charity sector, was interested in #SocialDeterminantsofHealth and prevention & thought OT skills would help #Otalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC It’s great to hear all your experiences and thoughts - sounds like you’re all drawing the most from your roles! Time for question 3: What do you think could be done to open up doors for newly qualified therapists in 3rd sector settings? #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #otalk |
| Alison Janes @kaleidoscopier @emilysuffield @93SophieC It was, I learned a lot & worked with a lovely team #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @margaretOT360 Great point! Going into role emerging settings is a great way to show off the fantastic impact OT can have! #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @emilysuffield Great idea :) #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @Opportune_OT I completely agree! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @BethjmOT: |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @JessOTPowell @JessOTPowell Love this! We definitely need to be tooting our OT horns! #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC Final question: What resources and strategies could you use as a newly qualified to support development in areas where formal preceptorship may not be available? #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @margaretOT360 True! With both peers and managers- we can be a great resource to each other #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @SusanGriffiths5 It certainly is - thanks #OTalk ! |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @93SophieC: Final question: Final question: What resources and strategies could you use as a newly qualified to support development in areas where formal preceptorship may not be available? #OTalk |
| Alison Janes @kaleidoscopier @93SophieC Depends on the job! Benefits can be ⬆️ flexibility in processes/services & making quicker service improvements - in the 3rd sector you often become multi-skilled as you pick up ‘extra jobs.’ You can also get good opportunities in project planning & evidencing impact #OTalk |

| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC Thanks to everyone who joined in tonight’s #OTalk - I feel privileged to have your attention despite bake off and holidays! Free cpd events and online forums such as the OT hub are a great resources.Please feel free to message, I am happy to share my wonderful nq experience 🙂 |
| Alison Janes @kaleidoscopier @93SophieC Challenges - difficulty accessing OT supervision & maintaining OT network, concerns about how evidence from a non-traditional role for meeting professional standards will be viewed & not fitting traditional NHS hierarchy/bands - what this might mean for future employment #Otalk |
| Ben Kirkwood 🏳️🌈 @OT_BenK I really enjoyed this #OTalk tonight thanks @93SophieC ☺️🙌🏻 |
| Alison Janes @kaleidoscopier @93SophieC Completely agree re: maintaining communities of practice. Don’t be afraid to communicate what you do - a tweet, blog, piece in @OTnews, opinion piece or research in a journal - to share knowledge, keep improving, build an evidence base & notice where there are gaps! #OTalk |
 | Barbara Ann Smith @Babsyslapsy @93SophieC #OTalk. I wanted variety of experience to build on experience from placemen5 and new experience. Mixed ages and both physical and mental health. Live somewhere I could afford to buy a property |
 | Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @OTalk_ gutted again to be doing uni work & missing out on a super relevant #otalk 🙈 I am keen to work in the 3rdsector, with particular interest in voc rehab! Have organised my elective placement in a charity as a taster! See the benefits and challenges to practice firsthand! |
