Blackburn Lancashire, United Kingdom Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Fixed Term 12 months

A vacancy has arisen for a dynamic Band 6 Occupational Therapist within the Occupational Therapy team which is based within acute adult mental health In-patient care at Pendleview, Royal Blackburn Hospital. The team provides occupational therapy input into all the in -patient wards.
