London, United Kingdom London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust Full time

It’s an exciting time to join #TeamLNWH

This is a rare, sought-after opportunity to join the supportive and dynamic Occupational Therapy team across Northwick Park Hospital, Ealing Hospital and Central Middlesex Hospital.

Working within the acute therapy teams, you’ll have countless opportunities to learn and develop your skills while working with medical professionals and experts in their field.

As a Band 4 Occupational Therapy Practitioner you will be required to take part in delivering a quality service under the supervision and guidance of qualified therapists. You will need to have an enthusiastic and hard-working approach, be passionate about patient care, have excellent communication/ interpersonal skills and the ability to work within a large team providing service to several wards.

Successful applicants will receive clinical supervision, a competency framework to support induction and self-development, in-service-training and be supported with an individualised job plan. This is a rewarding and dynamic role and is known to provide opportunity for further career development.

And because you’ll be a part of Team LNWH, you’ll have access to plenty of great benefits too, including fitness classes, our employee assistance programme, and some massive discounts from popular brands.

The post holder will work closely with the ward therapy staff/MDT, to assess, treat and actively be involved in organising discharge planning for the patient’s admitted to the acute wards. The ultimate aim of providing an OT service to these patients relates to promoting their function and independence in occupational performance areas, and to facilitate safe discharges.

The post holder will be asked to work in other areas occasionally to cover and support staff absences or service needs.

They will receive formal supervision from a Senior OT and participate in in-service training and team meetings.

London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust (LNWH) cares for the people of Brent, Ealing, Harrow and beyond.

Our team of more than 8,200 clinical and support staff serve a diverse population of almost one million people.

**We run major acute services at**:
**Northwick Park Hospital**: home to one of the busiest emergency departments (A&E) in the country. The hospital provides a full range of services including the country’s top-rated hyper-acute stroke unit and one of only three hyper-acute rehabilitation units in the UK

**St Mark’s Hospital**: an internationally renowned specialist centre for bowel disease

**Ealing Hospital**: a busy district general hospital providing a range of clinical services, as well as 24/7 emergency department and urgent care centre, and specialist care at Meadow House Hospice

**Central Middlesex Hospital**: our planned care site, hosting a range of surgical and outpatient services and collocated with an urgent care centre.

We are a university teaching NHS trust, in recognition of the important role we play in training clinicians of the future and bringing the benefits of research to the public.
