Job overview
Lincolnshire is well known for its diverse landscape and offers everything on its doorstep from the historical City of Lincoln and the Cathedral rising above Lincolns skyline to the peace and quiet of the countryside with its picturesque villages, market towns, rolling hills and woodlands.
Not only does it cater for all it also has some of the most affordable living costs in England.
As a specialist occupational therapist working within Community Hospitals you will have the opportunity to champion the key values of your profession.
We understand that through purposeful and meaningful activity we can support people to rehabilitate, recover and self-care. Although your base will be on the ward, we understand that working beyond boundaries is the only way to holistically support people toward their goals to allow individuals safely home.
We strongly believe that our therapy teams within our community hospitals play a vital role not just in the health and well-being of our patients, but for our wider communities as a whole.
As your caseload will be varied, you will have the opportunity to work alongside individuals experiencing a range of long-term health conditions. A key aspect of this will involve assessment of frailty and providing meaningful support for people with palliative health conditions.
This role is to be based in Johnson Community Hospital, Spalding Road, Pinchbeck, PE11 3DT.
