Highly Specialist Palliative Care Occupational Therapist

Job summary

Step into a role where your expertise genuinely impacts lives. We're inviting an enthusiastic and compassionate Occupational Therapist to join our highly respected Palliative Care team within a CQC-rated Outstanding specialist Trust.

You'll become a key member of a supportive, forward-thinking service, delivering Occupational Therapy across a variety of settings:

• Working with inpatients receiving specialist palliative care
• Assessing outpatients in our multidisciplinary palliative care clinic
• Visiting palliative care patients in their own homes to provide truly person-centred care

Your work will span the full Liverpool region, so a driving licence and access to an appropriately insured vehicle are essential.

Main duties of the job

This position is ideal for someone with a passion for palliative care and an interest in cardiothoracic conditions. Experience with chronic respiratory disease or cardio-thoracic oncology would be an advantage, but just as important is your commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate care.

You'll work closely with an experienced palliative care MDT and be co-located with our inpatient Occupational Therapy team, ensuring seamless collaboration and shared learning. Regular peer supervision and strong team support will help you settle in quickly and continue developing your clinical skills.

Job responsibilities

As the largest single site specialist heart and chest hospital in the UK, we, at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, have a clear vision 'to be the best cardiothoracic integrated healthcare organisation'.

We serve a catchment area of 2.8 million people, spanning Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and the Isle of Man, and increasingly we receive referrals from outside these areas for highly specialised services such as aortics.

Our reputation for strong performance is important in delivering the best care for our patients and high quality clinical services. This is underpinned by a culture of research and innovation, delivered in modern estate and our encouragement of flexible working in a variety of forms.
