This post is suitable for new graduates.
We require an enthusiastic Occupational Therapist, with an interest in working in the Acute physical setting, to join our team. If you are looking to develop your higher Band 5 skills this post would also be suitable for you. You will be supported by experienced staff and will have the opportunity to develop both clinical and leadership skills.
The post will be based mainly at Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary (DGRI) within the Therapies Department. The rotational programme (6 monthly) enables you to develop skills, both clinically and Leadership pillar of practice, and gain experience across a range of acute hospital specialities including:
· Medical / Surgical – including Emergency Department and Admissions Unit
· Orthopaedics
· Rehabilitation
· Medicine for the Elderly
You will also be able to complete a new rotation between DGRI and Community Rehab Unit based at Mountainhall Treatment Centre in Dumfries. This will allow you to deliver rehabilitation services and offers the opportunity to develop skills in providing ongoing rehabilitation for patients either as out patients or within their own homes.
The Acute OT service currently provides a 7 day service and you would be expected to work at weekends as part of an agreed rota. This will be discussed at interview.
The service offers a friendly and supportive working environment which actively supports CPD along with established supervision appraisal system (TURAS) and work based training.
