Band 7 Highly Specialist Occupational Therapist for Emergency and Acute Medicine
37.5 Hours
7 day working with extended hours
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and committed individual to join our unique and vibrant therapy team at the Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead, part of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust.
We are looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist with an extensive range of clinical and leadership skills to work across our emergency department, adult and medical assessment units.
You will be expected to provide clinical leadership and operational management to the team and manage a clinical caseload of patients requiring complex case management in order to facilitate early discharge, to promote independence and improve patient health outcomes.
The post holder will promote the Homefirst mindset with a passion for admission avoidance and will utilise rapid response and discharge to assess pathways to ensure that patients leave hospital in a safe and timely way and that there is safe and effective patient flow. The role will require you to work on a 7 day working roster with extended hours (inclusive of bank holidays).
The Therapies team at the Royal Free is innovative, creative and truly inter-disciplinary, focused on delivering high quality, patient centred care. Our team is friendly and supportive with a strong emphasis on supportive supervision, an active learning environment and a focus on staff welfare and teamwork using the "What matters to you?" framework.
You will need relevant clinical post registration experience of delivering Occupational Therapy in complex assessment and treatment intervention within the acute hospital setting, and state registration through the Health Care Professions Council. This position also requires excellent communication skills and experience working within an inter-disciplinary team and interagency collaboration.
Are you looking for an innovative role in a multidisciplinary team? This fantastic opportunity awaits a dynamic, motivated Occupational Therapist looking to develop clinical, operational and leadership skills.
