We are looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist to lead the East Ross Discharge to Assess team.
The post holder will provide assessment and specialist interventions to adults in hospital, or recently discharged from hospital, in order to facilitate an early and supported transition from hospital to home.
The team will work to improve the patient journey, from the initial point of a hospital stay, preventing any delays through early and effective planning and ongoing assessment at home. This will involve working with patients in their own home and providing rehabilitation plans for support staff to follow.
Multidisciplinary and multi-agency working is an essential component of the post and, on occasion, there may be a request for you to work out with normal office hours, therefore a degree of flexibility is required.
