But i’m being courted for a Lead OT post in outpatient neuro where I’d oversee FES/CIMT programs and provide clinical supervision — what supervision ratio and protected time are you negotiating for similar roles? They proposed 0.5 hr/month per clinician while expecting me to run two 4-week CIMT blocks per quarter; that feels clinically unsafe to me.
I’d push for at least 1 hr/month per clinician plus 0.1 FTE protected time for lead/QA, and during each CIMT block either cap supervisees or add a weekly 30‑min huddle — trying to do it on “0.5 hr/month” is like spotting three people while hitting your own PR. How many staff are you covering, @OP?
, 30 minutes per clinician while you’re running two 4‑week CIMT blocks per quarter is asking for drift. When I led outpatient neuro, we capped at six active supervisees and wrote in a protected weekly half‑day during CIMT, with a floor of 45 min per person monthly and a 60‑min group huddle if caseloads spiked. @lauraC88’s huddle idea is spot on — ask for a trigger clause that bumps your protected time to 0.2 FTE during any CIMT month.
