About the role
You will be working in the Medical Rehabilitation Therapies Team which consists of Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Therapy Assistants. We provide therapy to adults who are in hospital as a result of an acute illness, assisting them to regain mobility and independence with day to day tasks.

The role will involve working as an independent practitioner providing therapy assessment and treatment to a small caseload of clients admitted to West Middlesex University Hospital.
The role will also involve supporting the wider therapy team and multi-disciplinary team to maintain the high standard of care and support with client assessment, intervention and discharge planning.
To use evidence based principled/current best practices to assess, plan, implement and evaluate interventions.
To consolidate and develop knowledge and skills through participation in CPD and in service training and development projects.
We currently work in seven day working patterns.
