Job Summary
If you are a Band 6 OT looking for a part-time job within the Worcestershire Stroke Pathway, we have a post available within our Integrated Community Stroke Service which covers the county of Worcestershire. We are passionate about improving the quality of life for Stroke Survivors.
We would love to hear from Band 6 OTs with experience in stroke services that would like to work within both inpatients rehabilitation and community stroke on a rotational basis.
