Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist in physical rehab? Are you looking for a role that can offer you consistent personal and professional development?
Step Up to Lead
Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist with a focus on physical health? Do you want to take the next step in your career, guiding a community team while staying hands-on with patient care?
We’re looking for a passionate OT to join us as Senior Occupational Therapist for our Wokingham Community Hospital Inpatients Unit, a friendly and supportive community-based physical health service. The unit includes two wards helping adult patients recover from surgery or acute medical conditions as they prepare to return home.
What makes this role different?
- Support a team of OTs while managing a smaller personal caseload. Your focus will be on mentoring junior staff and assisting with more complex cases.
- Collaborate for better care: Work closely with the Therapy Team Leads to develop and improve patient care.
- Working pattern: Enjoy standard Monday to Friday hours (currently no weekends or evenings).
The ideal candidate will be a registered Occupational Therapist with an interest in the rehabilitation of older adults, have great organisational skills, and enjoy team working.
