Occupational Therapist - Rotational

2024-03-25

Description

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

This rotational Occupational Therapy post is suitable for either an experienced Band 5, wanting to experience a wider variety of acute rotations than most hospitals offer, or a newly qualified Occupational Therapist 2024 graduate looking to transition from student to qualified OT. We have a large cohort of B5 OTs and PTs, so you will have many peers to work with, and be supported by, as well as Preceptorship training for newly qualified staff.

Our B5 rotations are for 6 months each, and initially you will slot into vacancies, being able to request rotations when these are due to change. We currently provide rotations in many different clinical specialities including cancer care, cardiac, surgery, AMU/ED, orthopaedics, neurology, stroke, paediatrics, medicine, and medicine for older people. This means you will develop a broad knowledge base on which to plan the rest of your career, and help you decide what area of OT you may want to specialise in for the future, or you can continue rotating as part of our B6 workforce as another future option.

We are looking for staff with an ability to treat patients with care, compassion, and dignity.

Experience of working in the acute setting and recent NHS, as a student or current B5, is desirable. UHS is one of the largest acute hospitals in the UK and is fast paced and busy, so if you are a dynamic and enthusiastic OT looking for a challenge, we would love to hear from you.

We welcome applications from new OT graduates and are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Please note AI generated application forms may not be considered for shortlisting.�
