Job Opportunity: Occupational Therapist at Stroud Hospital
This role is offered on a fixed term basis for 18 months. The hours are full or part time.
We have an exciting opportunity for a newly qualified or established Occupational Therapist to join our friendly team of therapists at Stroud Hospital working on the in-patient wards. We welcome applications from those looking for their first post or those seeking to develop their existing role. The successful candidate will be an integral member of the team and will work in a ward-based environment. You will work with an experienced and friendly multidisciplinary team alongside physiotherapists, nurses, GPs, mental health services, and social care.
If you are enthusiastic, have a person-centred approach to care, enjoy working within a small team of therapists, and are keen to progress clients to achieve their goals, we would love to hear from you. In turn, you will be well supported with CPD opportunities to develop and grow as a therapist within our organisation. We are looking for a full time or part time occupational therapist, to include Fridays as a working day. The post is fixed term for 18 months but will have the potential to become permanent in future.
Stroud hospital has two wards, providing sub-acute care, rehabilitation, and end of life care to patients. Our aim is to enable people to live as independently as possible, and the ethos of the team is rehabilitation with a person-led approach to achieve recovery and return home. Much of the role involves assessment of patients with multiple pathologies, implementing rehabilitation goals, and coordinating safe discharges for the patients. We pride ourselves on being a creative and innovative team who enjoy the benefits of the autonomous style of working that the wards allow.
