If so, we are seeking enthusiastic candidates who are currently in a Band 5 post and wish to develop their career and with those already in a Band 6 post.

The OT team is currently made up of 3 full time Band 6 OTs working a 12 hour rota shift pattern (0800-2000) over 7 days, and a full time Band 7 Advanced Practice OT Mon-Fri 0800-1600. There is ongoing development work around the operational aspects of the service and scope to participate in further future service development.

Excellent communication, time management and prioritisation skills. A high standard of Occupational Therapy assessment and intervention skills. Clinical experience working as an Occupational Therapist within an adult acute or rehabilitation setting.
