NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

We are looking to recruit a Band 6 Senior Occupational Therapist to our experienced and friendly Community Occupational Therapy Team within Inverness district on a permanent basis.

This is an exciting opportunity to work within an established team of Occupational Therapists within our Integrated team, focusing on rehabilitation, reablement, home first and major adaptations. Work is primarily with clients who have a physical disability but experience in other areas is beneficial as we provide a holistic approach to treatment and goal setting. You will be expected to act independently to provide a full comprehensive service of assessment, diagnosis, treatment/appropriate management, onward referral and discharge to a range of patients referred to the service.

Skills in prioritisation, flexibility and delegation are essential and there is an expectation to provide clinical support to junior staff members. You will work alongside our existing OT team consisting of Senior Healthcare support workers, Occupational Therapy Assistant Practitioners, Registered Occupational Therapists and Advanced Practice Occupational Therapists.

This is an opportunity to work within an established Integrated team in a community based setting. You will be expected to manage a caseload to provide assessment, rehabilitation, onward referral and discharge to a range of patients referred to the service.

You will work within multi-professional teams to ensure co-ordinated care for patients. Professional guidance and day to day management will be provided through an Advanced Practice Occupational Therapist/Team Lead. Regular supervision is provided (including peer supervision opportunities) and opportunities for ongoing professional development are encouraged.

You will be expected to travel efficiently and effectively between various work locations and patient residences, so a full current driving license and use of a vehicle is essential.
