Job Title
Are you passionate about delivering community-based therapy, allowing service users to improve their quality of life? Are you committed to a Home First/ pathway 1 ethos, where people can rehabilitate in their own environment?
Our therapists support hospital discharges, admission avoidance and long term self-management, enabling patients to live as independently as possible in their home environment. We support rehabilitation of patients in their place of residence to maximise functional potential including the provision of equipment and liaison with other services as needed. The role includes assessment of functional ability and care support needs, both for establishing rehabilitation goals and longer term care needs if required.
We are seeking a motivated Senior Occupational Therapist to join our busy and dynamic team and promote choice for our service users and their carers. You will be working alongside PT's, case managers and support workers and will develop overlapping skills with these professions.
In return, we'll give you the opportunity to develop skills and enhance your multidisciplinary working; we will provide you with regular supervision as well as the opportunity to develop your leadership skills.
We offer a flexible service which covers extended hours operating 7 days a week, to support our service user needs. Working arrangements include weekends and bank holidays on a rota basis.
