Rotational Occupational Therapist - Band 6

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Occupational Therapist to join our community Band 6 rotation at East London NHS Foundation Trust. This is a perfect post for OT's hoping to consolidate their Band 6 and clinical skills but equally we have an excellent reputation for developing experienced Band 5 OT's.

The rotations, lasting 9 months, will include:
  • Community Rapid Response and Intermediate Care Team at Mile End Hospital, London

Main duties of the job

We are looking for an Occupational Therapist with experience working with patients across the care pathway and a variety of clinical areas. Individuals should have strong clinical skills and teaching skills as well as ability to manage a defined caseload of complex cases independently, providing comprehensive occupational therapy assessment and intervention, evidencing problem solving and clinical reasoning skills in line with evidence-based practice.

The successful candidate will display a strong commitment to patient centred care and be innovative, creative and dynamic.

The post holder will gain experience assessing and developing treatment programs for a broad range of conditions across various settings in the community. We are committed to provision of high-quality patient centred care combined with clinical excellence and involvement in clinical research.

Actual working hours are specific to each team, e.g., there is an 11am to 7pm shift in the Rapid Response Team. Youwill need to be a versatile, adaptable team player who is prepared to work across a 7-day rota.

Potential candidates should have current HPC registration and ideally be a current member of COT and specialist interest group, along with evidence of post-graduate study. You must have experience working within the NHS across a number of clinical areas, and post-graduation experience.

The rotational post holder will participate in the band 6 rotational scheme working across primary care and the Local Authority Social Services in Tower hamlets. This will require working in community and clinic settings, with a large proportion of the work being undertaken in the patient's own home & /or the community.
