Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Older Adults Therapy Team at Hillingdon Hospital for a part time (0.6 whole time equivalent / 22.5 hours per week) band 6 OT.
We are seeking a band 6 Occupational Therapist to join our friendly, integrated inpatient therapy department on our dementia friendly Older Adults Rehabilitation Unit. There is a strong, collaborative, MDT approach on the ward, which is Consultant led and supported by nurses, AHPs and the wider team including discharge support workers and charities.
The therapy department is the third largest staff group within the Trust and is widely respected. As a band 6 Occupational Therapist, you will play an essential part in the assessment, treatment, and discharge of patients receiving rehabilitation on Beaconsfield East. You will work closely with the patient, their support network, and Multidisciplinary colleagues to achieve a positive outcome. As a B6 you will also supervise junior staff and facilitate student placements, while being supported by experienced B7 OTs and PT to grow and maximise your potential.
You will primarily be based in the therapy department's Beaconsfield East team but will have the opportunity to work across wards to cover the acute Older Adult wards, and the wider department as the service demands, which includes a Discharge Ready Ward.
This post is currently weekday only, however the Trust is working today included in the 7-day service.
