An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the NHS Fife Acute Services Division, Occupational Therapy (OT) service. We are looking for an experienced Clinical Support Worker to work with the OT service in the National Treatment Centre for orthopaedics.
As an OT Clinical Support Worker (CSW), Band 4, you will work independently to deliver assessments and interventions to elective orthopaedic in-patients which promote occupational performance and progress their discharge from hospital. The majority of interventions take place within the hospital, but you may also be required to visit patients’ homes e.g. to deliver and fit equipment. This requires an ability to travel throughout Fife.
This is a diverse, fast paced role, within a multi-disciplinary team and will entail a range of different duties with an orthopaedic client group. This post also offers an opportunity to work closely with physiotherapy colleagues sharing some skills and roles as required. You will require knowledge of orthopaedics, occupational therapy equipment, excellent communication and IT skills and the ability to independently carry out assessments and treatments effectively to a high standard.
A relevant HNC and/or SVQ Level 3 or evidence of working towards this qualification, or clear evidence of relevant training and experience equivalent to this is essential. Extensive health or social care experience in an OT or related environment and previous experience of working with older people is required.
