Are you a qualified NHS Occupational Therapist looking for your next career step? Want to enhance your experience across different patients, care settings and develop as a clinical leader in one of the UK’s largest hospital Trusts?
We have a fantastic opportunity for a Specialist Occupational Therapist to work within our Acute Medicine Therapy team based across the Northern General and Royal Hallamshire Hospitals.
As a Specialist Occupational Therapist you will be working alongside a team of other, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and support staff, providing early assessment, intervention and discharge planning utilising their clinical reasoning skills for a complex and diverse case-mix of patients. This will include cognitive assessment, and functional assessment amongst other core occupational therapy skills. Covering a variety of different wards across the hospitals, this is great chance to work with a wide range of patients and develop your experience of different specialties, including Geriatric Medicine, Frailty, Parkinsons and Palliative Care.
Throughout your time you’ll have the guidance and supervision of our clinical specialists and wider team, to offer you support, help you manage your caseload and complex patients, and help develop your specific area of interest and skills to further your career.
We also offer excellent in-service training programs to support staff to continue with postgraduate training and developing clinical and leadership skills, including developing and delivering education, supervision, mentorship, and service developments. There’s also the chance to get involved in service improvement and research projects, new innovations and more. We’re also proud to be a friendly, caring, and supportive team, who help each other to manage caseloads, deliver the best for our patients, and enjoy catching up over a social lunch, and the odd bake-off.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys working in a multidisciplinary team to deliver the best possible care for patients, has excellent communication skills, and ideally has post-registration experience within an acute setting.
You will be working for an organisation which values and respects all of its staff and the community it serves. The Trust is a leader in the NHS and research sectors and provides excellent benefits for its staff.
