Band 6 Rotational Occupational Therapist
At West Middlesex University Hospital we offer the opportunity to rotate through a range of acute inpatient clinical areas. The rotations are 8 months long and clinical specialties available across both our hospital sites include Emergency Department & Acute Medicine, Medical Rehabilitation & Frailty, Respiratory Medicine & Critical Care, Stroke & Neurology and Trauma & Orthopaedics, Burns and Hand Therapy.
An exciting opportunity has come up for an Occupational Therapist to join our Band 6 rotation within the Therapy Service at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation trust. The post will rotate through a wide variety of specialties and clinical settings and allow for supported learning, development of skills and professional development through acute inpatient specialities.
