An exciting opportunity has arisen within the NHS Fife Occupational Therapy Service for a Band 4 Occupational Therapy support worker to work within the Acute Stroke Occupational Therapy team. This team also supports critical care and whilst this post is based in the acute stroke ward at the Victoria Hospital, part of your role will be to support OT activity into critical care. The post requires an ability to travel throughout Fife for the delivery of equipment or follow-up visits. As a support worker you will assist the Occupational Therapy team in the delivery of a range of client-centered interventions which focus on a return to independence in activities of daily living to promote discharge from hospital. This is a diverse role within a multi-disciplinary team and will entail a range of different duties with a complex client group. You will require good communication skills, a flexible approach and the ability to carry out allocated tasks independently, effectively and to a high standard. There are opportunities within the service for support workers to participate in relevant education and development programmes and regular supervision will be provided. Previous experience of working with patients with a range of conditions and complex needs is desirable and an SVQ level 3 certificate in health/social care or evidence of working towards is essential.
