Senior Occupational Therapist (Rotational)

The post is suitable for an Occupational Therapist with broad post-graduate experience working with children or young people in a hospital or community setting. This post provides an excellent opportunity to consolidate existing skills and expand your learning in a number of specialist areas.

Working for our organisation
Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust is the first of its type in the UK. Our Trust was formed in February 2017 to drive forward our commitment to provide the highest quality, world-class physical and mental health care for our women, children and families.
Uniting our hospitals means more seamless care; more investment to make greater advances in our specialist treatment and world-leading neo-natal and fetal work. Importantly, it also gives us a greater voice in shaping the future of family-centred care.
Birmingham Children's Hospital is a UK leading specialist paediatric centre with an international reputation in several areas. Birmingham Women's Hospital is one of two dedicated women's hospitals in the UK, with the busiest single site maternity unit, delivering more than 8,200 babies a year offering a full range of gynaecological, maternity and neonatal care. Forward Thinking Birmingham (FTB) Mental Health Services are a unique, innovative community and inpatient mental health partnership. Alongside partners FTB offers care pathways of mental health assessment and treatment for young people aged 0-25 years old.
Our Trust is committed to creating the best place to work. We believe in promoting and enhancing inclusion, diversity and equality and encourage applications from all areas of the community, who meet the criteria for the role, regardless of age, gender identity, disability, race, religion or sexual orientation.

Are you the right Occupational Therapist to join our Band 6 rotation?
Do you have experience of working with children?
Can you cope with change and take on the challenge of bringing skills from one rotation into a new specialty?
Can you help a student Occupational Therapist to see where the model or theory in their text book fits into a session of messy painting on the ward?
Would you like to be part of a team that works hard to give the best care to their patients and is supported to do that by having access to training, supervision and a well-stocked treat tin?
At Birmingham Children's Hospital we are looking for a Band 6 Occupational Therapist who wants to join our friendly and motivated team on rotation. If you can answer 'yes' to our questions above, you sound like the kind of Occupational Therapist we would like to meet.
Our rotations include Burns and Plastics, Osteogenesis Imperfecta and the Hands and Upper limb service, on a 9 - 12 month placement.
