Newly Qualified Occupational Therapist - Rotation

Each rotation is 8 months in duration. All rotations are community based, working with people in their own homes and plan to include the following teams:

Children's and Young People Disability Team - working with 0-18 year olds with physical, learning and communication disabilities within their home environment. Enabling them to reach and work towards their developmental milestones.
Mental Health Enablement Services - supporting people to conquer everyday challenges and live their lives.
Housing Occupational Therapy Services (Adults and Children) - working with people to overcome their environmental barriers through complex adaptations and more.
Reablement - providing short term therapy led goal-based support to people in their homes.
Ongoing Support - working with adults with predominantly physical long-term conditions to enable occupational participation within the home, includes major adaptations and moving and handling.
All teams provide diverse experience working with people living with a wide range of conditions to enable their independence and wellbeing in their own homes. You'll learn to manage your own caseload, enable people to have independence and wellbeing within their lives, and work alongside informal carers and families. You'll become skilled in prescribing and risk assessing a range of manual handling, daily living equipment and major adaptations. You'll broaden your multi-disciplinary working within friendly, experienced teams.

Rotational OT posts are available to be based in either the Salisbury, Trowbridge, and Chippenham areas.

This rotation starts in September 2024 with the option to join earlier if desired.

We offer excellent support for newly qualified Occupational Therapists, with a comprehensive induction and a 12-month preceptorship programme, with dedicated time off the job each month in your first year to focus on development and wellbeing. There are significant opportunities to engage in continuing professional development and develop your career across multiple specialties of Occupational Therapy. You'll gain work-life balance with a brilliant flexible working scheme and be part of a passionate OT team wherever you go.

Here's what our existing Newly Qualified OTs from 2022-3 said about the preceptorship support and development opportunities they had last year
