Recently opened at Norwich Community Hospital, the new Willow Therapy Unit provides a supportive and comfortable environment for 48 patients.
The restorative environment at Willow Therapy Unit enables patients to make steady, step‑step improvements and gain independence as they prepare to return to the community. Patients are supported to play an active role in their own care and feel confident about performing daily activities when they leave.
Care is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of clinical professionals dedicated to patient recovery and wellbeing. NCHC is seeking an experienced and enthusiastic Occupational Therapist to join our team in providing reablement care to a range of patients across a 7 day service including Bank Holidays. Shifts are 11.5 hours per day (7am‑730pm).
Applications for full or part time hours are welcomed.
