Description
Are you a driven and innovative Occupational Therapist ready to elevate your specialist practice? Join The Royal London Hospital, the leading tertiary Neurosciences and Major Trauma centre for North East London and Essex, and become a vital leader in our cutting-edge Stroke Therapy Team.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work within one of London’s eight designated Hyper-Acute Stroke Units (HASUs)—a centre of excellence for acute stroke rehabilitation and care. You will be instrumental in delivering high-quality, patient-centred occupational therapy from the Emergency Department (ED) and for patients temporarily placed on non-stroke wards.
Why This Role Is Truly Exceptional
The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.
Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.
We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment.
