Are you an Occupational Therapist who believes in the power of recovery, purpose and meaningful occupation?
Do you want to work somewhere your skills genuinely change lives — every day?
If so, we would love to hear from you.
We’re offering an exciting opportunity to join our passionate, forward-thinking Occupational Therapy team within Adult Inpatient Mental Health at Murray Royal Hospital.
You’ll work with adults experiencing acute and/or enduring mental health challenges, supporting recovery across both acute admission wards and rehabilitation services. This is a role where your therapeutic creativity, compassion and professional judgement will be truly valued.
As a key member of the multi-disciplinary team, you will:
- Deliver recovery-focused, occupation-centred interventions that promote hope, independence and meaningful life roles
- Build strong therapeutic relationships with patients and collaborate closely with carers and colleagues
- Use your skills to support people through some of the most challenging periods of their lives
- Contribute to service development within a team with a clear mission statement, strong identity and shared values
This is a dynamic, rewarding and varied role — no two days are the same.
You’ll be joining a supportive, committed and experienced Occupational Therapy team who are proud of what they do and how they do it. We invest in our staff and believe that great care starts with looking after our people.
