About the Role
An opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, motivated, and forward-thinking Band 6 Acute Medical Occupational Therapist to join the Central Area Occupational Therapy Team at Glan Clwyd Hospital, working within the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) in North Wales.

- Support effective patient flow and discharge planning under a Discharge to Recover Then Assess (D2RA) model, aligning with the Six Goals for Urgent and Emergency Care.

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.
Primary Responsibilities
You will primarily work across acute medical wards, but flexibility is key—occasional support may be required in specialties such as Care of the Elderly (CoE) and Surgical services, dependent on service demands.
This role combines clinical and managerial accountability, meaning you will play a crucial role in:
- Implementing person-centred care in a timely manner.
- Supporting hospital flow through collaborative working.
- Managing day-to-day tasks and supervising junior staff within the department.
- Leading formal supervision and annual appraisals.
- Contributing to audits, service developments, and decision-making meetings.
- Exercising excellent organisational and time management skills in a fast-paced environment.
