An Exciting Opportunity for an Occupational Therapist
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, dynamic, and experienced Occupational Therapist to join the Trauma and Orthopaedic Integrated Therapy Team based at Ipswich Hospital. The team covers one elective ward, and two trauma wards: one being a general trauma ward, and the other being a fragility fracture ward.
About the Role
We are looking for a flexible, hardworking and reliable person who enjoys working as part of the wider multi-disciplinary team, with excellent communication skills.
Key Responsibilities
- Work autonomously to carry out all aspects of the Occupational therapy process to patients.
- Have an excellent understanding of relevant assessments and interventions, and complex discharge planning.
- Manage a defined complex caseload under the management of the Team Leader, using evidence-based, client-centered principles to assess, plan and evaluate OT interventions, ensuring compliance with HCPC, CQC and Trust clinical and quality standards.
- Ensure, as far as is reasonably practical, the safety of the patients in your care.
- Supervise and assist in the development of junior OTs, non-qualified staff and students on placement.
- Undertake audit of both clinical practice and processes to increase efficiency and effectiveness.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
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.
Opportunities for Development
Alongside the clinical aspect of the job, there will be opportunities to be involved with and lead on service development, alongside supporting the development of junior staff, therapy assistants and students.

You will be expected to work across the seven-day service.
