Role
Are you an experienced and motivated Occupational Therapist looking for an exciting opportunity to make a real difference in urgent and emergency care?
We are seeking a Band 6 Occupational Therapist to join our highly valued Urgent and Emergency Care Therapy Team at King’s Mill Hospital. This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside a skilled multidisciplinary team, helping patients receive the right care at the right time while supporting admission avoidance and facilitating timely, safe discharges.
You will work collaboratively with colleagues across urgent care pathways, helping patients access appropriate community services, intermediate care support, and external agencies, while also contributing to reducing hospital length of stay and improving patient outcomes.
Beyond your clinical responsibilities, you will be an integral part of the leadership and development of the service, supporting junior staff and helping to shape future improvements within the team.
