An Occupational Therapy rotational post to provide the post holder with experience across a variety of specialisms within the acute hospital and the community. The rotational element will enable the occupational therapist to develop specialist skills and increase knowledge of occupational therapy provision across services and traditional boundaries improving integrated care provision.

The post holder will be expected to carry a caseload of patients with complex health and social care needs using evidence based practise and client centred principles to assess, plan, implement and evaluate interventions. To communicate in a clear and accessible way with patients and their carers/ families and support them in their decision making.
