You will need relevant clinical post registration experience of delivering Occupational Therapy in complex assessment and treatment intervention within the acute hospital setting, and state registration through the Health Care Professions Council. This position also requires excellent communication skills and experience working within an inter-disciplinary team and interagency collaboration.
