An opportunity has arisen for a Band 4 Assistant Practitioner in Occupational Therapy to join the Integrated Occupational Therapy service.
You would be part of a dynamic and dedicated team providing a client centred, seamless service to the local community and occasionally to the in-patient department within Cowal Community Hospital. You will be involved in the assessment, rehabilitation, reablement, provision of equipment and minor/major adaptations for adults with physical disability or illness. You will work under the supervision of registered Occupational Therapists and use specialist assessment and rehabilitation skills with your own caseload of less complex clients, supporting them to maximise their independence at home.
You will need to be flexible and be able to prioritise and manage your time effectively. We work very closely with our Community Nursing, AHP, Social work and Care and Repair colleagues. We also enjoy good relationships with our GP Practices. Good communication skills and multi-disciplinary team working are essential.
The organisation is committed to supporting your professional development. You will have regular supervision and performance reviews with access to appropriate training to enable you to provide optimum care.
For further information please contact Natasha Morrison, Occupational Therapy Team Lead; tel. 01369 763450 or email: nhsh.cowalcommunityservices@nhs.scot
