We are seeking applications from individuals with a passion for working in the acute setting. You will need to demonstrate time‑management skills, flexibility, and an ability to manage a caseload in a busy environment. Excellent communication skills will be key, as you will be working with patients and their families in stressful and complex situations. The successful candidate will also need to demonstrate good interpersonal skills and be committed to team working both within OT and the wider MDT. Applicants will be supported to develop problem‑solving and specialist clinical skills essential for meeting the demands of this setting. Regular supervision will be provided, and a staff appraisal system is in operation. We are commissioned to provide a seven‑day service, so flexibility to work weekends may be required.

UK Points‑based immigration system
Applications from job seekers who require sponsorship to work in the United Kingdom (UK) are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications. Please note that from 1 January 2021, to work in the UK all candidates who are not UK or Republic of Ireland (RoI) nationals require sponsorship unless you have permission to work via another route. Non‑UK / RoI candidates wishing to apply can self‑assess the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship here Work in the UK - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
It is vital that you provide full and accurate details of your current immigration status on the application form. Overseas applicants applying for entry clearance into the UK must present a criminal record certificate from each country they have resided in continuously or cumulatively for 12 months or more in the past 10 years. Guidance can be found here Criminal records checks for overseas applicants - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
If you are applying for a vacancy in health or adult social care, you may be eligible to apply for the Health and Care Worker visa instead, which is cheaper to apply for and you do not need to pay the annual immigration health surcharge.
Communications
Communications throughout the application process will be via e‑mail; therefore please check your e‑mail account and Trac account regularly. References are also requested by e‑mail (where possible). To speed up the recruitment process, please provide an e‑mail address for all referees when completing your application form.
If you require any support in completing the application form, please do not hesitate to contact the HR Support Services team on 01246 513177 and we will be happy to provide assistance.
