Job overview
Are you a band 6 or band 7 Occupational therapist or Physiotherapist with an interest and experience in hand therapy?
Due to maternity leave, we have a vacancy for a part-time, 12-month fixed term post to join our established hand therapy team here at the Shrewsbury and Telford NHS hospitals trust.
The role requires specialist skills to assess/triage, diagnose, treat, and manage a variety of hand conditions. Applicants must have prior experience within hand therapy, but we welcome applications from both established B7 clinicians and from B6 clinicians looking to further develop their role and skills.
You will work alongside a team of colleagues at bands 3 - 8a at The Princess Royal Hospital, Telford, to deliver a high-quality patient experience.
Main duties of the job
This post will primarily support the management of secondary care referrals, including post-operative and trauma management. Our senior hand therapists also work alongside our orthopaedic consultant colleagues in hand clinics.
The department is involved in research projects and has close links with HEIs providing clinical placements and working closely to identify opportunities for staff. We are committed to allocated CPD time, and we provide a core day once a month when CPD, mentorship, in-service training, and attendance at a monthly staff meeting is encouraged.
Working for your organisation
The hand therapy team is comprised of occupational therapists and physiotherapists within a dedicated hand therapy department.
Within the wider outpatient department, we have a very experienced team including band 5 to band 8B therapists and support workers from band 2 - 4. The atmosphere in the department is very friendly, supportive, and proactive, which is reflected in our NHS staff survey results.
