Band 5 Occupational Therapist in the Orthopaedic Therapy Team at York Hospital
We are looking to recruit a Band 5 Occupational Therapist in the Orthopaedic Therapy Team at York Hospital.
We are seeking a motivated and proactive individual with a passion for Occupational Therapy. This post would suit a registered practitioner looking to develop specialist skills and knowledge in the area of Orthopaedics.
We are a welcoming, supportive team and are looking for someone who is keen to develop and promote Occupational Therapy in the trust.
We are proud to offer our Multi-Professional Preceptorship Programme to all newly registered practitioners. This is a wonderful opportunity to welcome you into your new team and our Trust, providing you with support and guidance as you develop in confidence and competence. The programme lasts for 12 months and includes dedicated time, away from clinical practice to support new graduates’ transition from student to autonomous practitioner.
If you are an internal candidate applying for secondment, please ensure you have the permission of your current line manager first.
Responsibilities
As a qualified registered occupational therapist, you will be responsible for delivering effective, safe, quality, person-centred care in the acute setting. You will be encouraged to develop your knowledge, skills, and confidence across the 4 pillars of practice: Clinical, Leadership, Education, and Research/Audit. You would be part of a dedicated, knowledgeable multi-disciplinary team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
