More detail about the role

There are two posts available for this role. One post is based in Tiverton Hospital and the other post is based in Culm Valley Integrated Centre for Health, Cullompton. Please note that both post holders will be expected to cover the whole patch.

The North Devon Link Road can transport you to the beautiful shorelines of the North Devon Coast, Exmoor and Blackdown Hills, Area of Natural Beauty. You can also access direct trains to London from Tiverton Parkway, taking less than 2 hours.

We manage a varied caseload from post-op rehab, Pathway 2 rehab in care homes to long-term condition management, falls prevention and same-day equipment assessments to keep patients safe at home. Applicants will require sound moving and handling skills, good problem solving, prioritisation and excellent communication. Our offices are shared with Community Nurses, Social Workers and Urgent Community Response, allowing a high level of integrated working to the benefit of our patients.

We are committed to the continuing professional development of all our team members and offer a supportive environment with regular supervision, CPD groups, training and peer support. We also have access to a Champions Network that links you with Therapists who are keen to share the knowledge of their special interest. The successful candidate will be responsible for the supervision and development of Band 5 Occupational Therapists, students, and support staff assigned to them. Excellent IT skills are required to coordinate the smooth running of the service and utilise the benefits of our online MyCare portal. The post-holder will require a driving licence and access to a car to complete their community visits.

Working Pattern: hours per week. Whilst the majority of shifts are completed 8:30 - 16:30, the successful candidate will be entered onto the team rota for late shifts (either 10:00 - 18:00 or 12:00 - 20:00 depending on capacity) and weekends (with toil time provided to compensate).

Interview Date: To be confirmed

Pay: The salary advertised for this position reflects the Agenda for Change 2024-5 rates, inclusive of a pay award implemented from October 2024. If you join before this date, the pay award will be backdated to April 2024 or your start date, whichever is later. Until then, remuneration will be based on the 2023-4 pay bandings (Pay scales for 2023/24 | NHS Employers).

We recognise the advantages of having a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve.

Preference will be given to staff with Priority and 'At Risk' status including NHS At Risk staff throughout Devon.

The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust reserves the right to close vacancy when sufficient applications have been received.

The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was established in April 2022, bringing together the expertise of both the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust and Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust.

Benefits

This might include funding for a care certificate, a degree or leadership qualifications. Or it might include days off to study, engage in CPD or rotational placements to help you hone your skills. Wherever you are heading in the NHS, we'll help you get there.

Looking after you is important to us.

We strive to help our staff create a healthy work-life balance through flexible working schemes and our family friendly policies.

National discount services such as the Blue Light Card and Health Service Discounts.

Salary sacrifice options including our OFSTED rated outstanding nursery onsite at Exeter
