Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Senior Occupational Therapists
Senior Occupational Therapists are more experienced clinicians who independently manage a full specialised clinical caseload. They are responsible for supervising designated members of staff within the team, including students and apprentices on placement.
Our senior Occupational Therapists rotate through speciality pathways on a 9-monthly basis and work under supervision of an allocated Team Lead for the Clinical Area.
The rotations associated with this post may change in response to future service demands and the postholder may be required to work at any of the sites within the Trust.
If the post is a rotational role, this means you will rotate across the Trust hospital sites and this would reflect on your high cost area allowance. The location on the contract is the first rotation site and will change for the next rotation.
When based on the acute sits you will be working in a large friendly therapy department, in a vibrant and diverse area of London based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
