Are you looking for a role that offers clinical variety, autonomy and the opportunity to shape the future of Occupational Therapy within General Medicine?
We are looking for an enthusiastic Occupational Therapist to join our supportive inpatient therapy team, delivering high-quality care across our General Medical wards with opportunities to work alongside our Coronary Care Unit. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced Band 5 ready to take the next step, or an established Band 6 looking to broaden their experience within acute medicine.
Alongside a diverse clinical caseload, you'll have opportunities to supervise colleagues and students, contribute to service development and help further develop the Occupational Therapy role within medical specialties.
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.
Working alongside Physiotherapists, Nurses, Therapy Assistants and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will use your Occupational Therapy expertise to enable patients to regain independence, maximise function and achieve safe, timely discharge from hospital.
This is an excellent opportunity to take on a senior clinical role whilst helping shape the future of OT within General Medicine. Alongside service development opportunities within the medical specialties, there is scope to further develop the OT contribution to Cardiac Rehabilitation, utilising core OT principles such as pacing, energy conservation, fatigue management and supporting long-term self-management to enhance patient outcomes.
Why Join Us?
- Join a supportive, experienced and collaborative therapy team.
- Play an active role in shaping and developing our services.
- Access excellent CPD and leadership opportunities through our People Development Service.
- Develop specialist clinical skills whilst maintaining a varied and rewarding caseload.
What We're Looking For
- A confident Occupational Therapist with a strong professional identity and understanding of the unique contribution Occupational Therapy brings to acute care.
- Relevant acute experience, or transferable skills that can be applied within this clinical setting.
- Excellent communication, leadership and multidisciplinary working skills.
- A commitment to delivering compassionate, evidence-based and person-centred care.
