Are you an enthusiastic and dynamic Occupational Therapist looking for a new opportunity? Come and work for us in a modern, purpose-built unit within the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside!
The Discharge to Assess (D2A) Team has recently merged with our Bed Based teams across our 3 Community Hospitals. This is a hybrid role working as part of the D2A team but embedded within the team at Danesbury Neurological Centre. You would be joining a supportive team of qualified therapists and therapy support workers to provide senior clinical leadership to deliver quality care to our D2A patients within care homes as well as the inpatients at Danesbury Neurological Centre.
You will be based at Danesbury in Welwyn, Hertfordshire. However, when providing the D2A service, the post holder will be required to travel between care homes within East & North Hertfordshire including Stevenage, Hatfield & Broxbourne.
Danesbury is a modern in-patient Neurological Rehabilitation Unit, with a large gym and specialist rehabilitation facilities and equipment. We offer 6 weeks of goal orientated rehabilitation to those who have experienced an acute stroke, brain injury or other neurological condition.
