1 week ago


Bradford, Bradford, United Kingdom Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time
We have a rare and exciting opportunity for a motivated individual who wants to become an Occupational Therapist.

The successful applicant will be enthusiastic about the profession and will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the role of an OT through experience.

For those people who are interested in helping individuals overcome difficulties in daily living, working across varied specialties with people of all ages, then this is a fantastic opportunity.


Applicants should have:

  • Have GCSE English Literature and Mathematics at grade 4 or above, or grade C or above if awarded under the previous GCSE grading scheme, or equivalent.

Plus one of the following:

  • DDM in BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care or Applied Science.
  • NCFE CACHE Technical Level 3 Extended Diploma/Level 3 Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care at Grade B.
  • Access to Higher Education Diploma with 45 Level 3 credits, 30 at Distinction and 15 at Merit.
  • Have an understanding of the Occupational Therapy Profession.


A clean British driving license is essential as is access to a car with business class insurance (reasonable adjustments will be considered).

We will provide a work placed mentor to provide guidance, support and knowledge in the Occupational Therapy profession.


The apprenticeship is a 3-year degree level program for an Occupational Therapy (Degree Apprenticeship) BSc (Hons) during which you will learn all the skills needed to become a registered Occupational Therapist.

The Trust has a reputation for being at the forefront of NHS modernisation. It considers the welfare and development of its staff to be of paramount importance.

We, as a service, offer supported training opportunities, both internal and external (to Master's level), supervision/mentorship and an established development framework which supports CPD.


The services in some areas provide 7-day cover and the successful applicant must therefore be prepared to work weekends and extended days.


Applications will only be considered from people who have recent experience of working as a therapy assistant within an NHS or Local Authority Occupational Therapy service.

You may be eligible to gain accreditation for your prior learning.

Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL)is where you can claim academic credit for your prior learning achieved from an accredited course.

Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) involves claiming academic credit for prior learning gained through experience and not from an accredited course.

The University only accepts claims for APL, which combined with the chosen course of study will not exceed six years.


We can offer staff gymnasiums on both hospital sites, final salary pension scheme including life assurance cover and advice on childcare.
