Stroke Occupational Therapist

We have an exciting opportunity for an Occupational Therapist to work in our friendly community stroke team on a fixed term basis. If you are interested in gaining new skills in stroke rehabilitation or if you already had experience and rehabilitation is your passion, then this is the opportunity is for you!

You will be working closely with your AHP colleagues to deliver high quality care to patients with stroke and other neurological conditions.

You will be part of a well-structured MDT with support from experienced clinical specialists within the team across all professions.

There is a dedicated in service training program, regular clinical and management supervisions, team meetings and a dedicated MDT. There are also opportunities for funded training to further develop clinical or leadership skills.

To support this service, we require an additional Band 6 Occupational Therapist. The position is part time (22.5 hours per week). This services provides cover at the weekend so the successful candidate would be required to participate in the weekend roster.

You will be joining a friendly, dynamic and cohesive integrated community therapy team which prides itself on close working relationships with the MDT. Person-centred care and an approach which promotes self-management and independence are at the centre of our philosophy.

We require a person who is an excellent communicator with a flexible approach, who can work autonomously but has close support of colleagues when required.

We strive to use current best practice and do so by regularly reviewing our service and adapting to provide patients with the best possible outcomes using evidence based practice.

HCPC registration and a degree/diploma in Occupational Therapy is required for this role. Also a strong team player and proactive problem solver is an advantage.

It is also essential to hold a full valid driving license and have access to a car to use regularly for business purposes (unless you have a disability as defined by the Equality Act 2010).
