Are you an experienced occupational therapist looking to utilise your skills and experience in a fast-paced environment? Are you able to handle multiple sources of information simultaneously and communicate the outcome of your work clearly across multiple teams and organisations? If you can answer yes to any of the above then we may just have the job for you.
We are currently looking for an occupational therapist to work across our pathway between SPOC / In-reach team and our rehabilitation beds.
The post holder will have access to multi-organisational partners to improve patient experience and will support patient flow to contribute to timely and excellent standards of care. Working across the pathway will give the post holder significant exposure and experience to the workings of the NHS system.
If you have experience of working in acute, community or rehab services dealing with complex challenges and are keen to do something different in a highly performing, stimulating and fast-paced environment then this may be your opportunity.
You will be fully supported by the team and service manager as you grow your knowledge of clinical services within West Hertfordshire and beyond to ensure patients receive the most appropriate care in a timely manner.
Work in partnership between primary and secondary care, assist with the development, implementation and evaluation of a discharge planning service for patients that are being discharged from acute hospital services into the care of community-based services.
Assist the discharge planning teams in acute hospitals to ensure that service users are referred to the most suitable community pathway. Where disagreement exists, work collaboratively to ensure the best outcome for the patient.
Just as we care about our patients’ well-being, we care about yours!
We Can Offer You
* A comprehensive induction into the community service followed by a local induction to introduce you to the role.
* Car lease scheme (only available for Band 5 and up).
* Flexible working options.
* Annual travel card loan.
* Training, support and development in your career.
