Occupational Therapist – East Rehab Therapies Team
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, innovative, flexible, and well‑motivated Occupational Therapist to join the East Integrated Rehabilitation Team based primarily within the rehab therapy team at Liskeard Community Hospital.
Under the umbrella of the East Rehab Therapy Team, we provide high quality rehabilitation and reablement in the community, alongside step‑down intermediate care in the community bedded settings of Liskeard and Launceston hospitals to adults aged 18 years or over who need support after discharge from acute inpatient settings and virtual wards to help them rehabilitate, re‑enable and recover in East Cornwall.
Responsibilities
* Provide assessment and treatment/management of patients, some of whom may have acute, complex and/or chronic presentations, carried out as an autonomous practitioner.
* Supervise and delegate to allied health professional support workers.
* Work as part of the East Rehab Therapies Team to ensure a high standard of intervention and effective and efficient service to patients.
* Practice as a lone worker under the supervision of a senior Occupational Therapist.
* Within your role of Band 6 Occupational Therapist, provide supervision for support staff and participate in Student Education.
* Be expected to work flexibly across all areas of the East Integrated Therapy Team; seven‑day working could become an operational requirement of this post in the future.
* Receive regular clinical supervision and be encouraged to undertake continuing professional development.
Working flexibly in line with a one‑workforce culture across services, settings and sectors, building relationships and increasing skills. This model aims to increase capacity and access to high quality therapy‑led rehabilitation assessments and interventions that are timely, safe, and person‑centred for people discharged on intermediate care pathways from acute settings and virtual wards, both as inpatients and in their own homes.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you’ll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
