Are you an innovative and forward-thinking Occupational Therapist with a broad spectrum of practice experience to share and looking for the next step in your career?
We are seeking to recruit a highly experienced and enthusiastic Occupational Therapist to join the Leadership team in the Forest of Dean and Tewkesbury, Newent and Staunton Locality.
This advert is to cover maternity leave and is a fixed-term contract for 11 months. Consideration of secondment will also be given where applicable.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will work as part of the ICT managerial leadership team delivering the day-to-day business of the ICT and supporting its ongoing development as a key part of a successful health and care system.
While the post holders will have their own clear lines of responsibility, they will work as a single cohesive management team. They will recognise and draw from colleagues' wider skill set within each team in delivering, together, the localities' day-to-day operational delivery and agreed developments. This will require the team to deliver and model multi-disciplinary working practices.
About us
We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a diverse range of services. We strive to support an organisational culture that is welcoming, builds and celebrates inclusivity and diversity, and provides a sense of belonging and trust. The annual NHS Staff Survey gives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust. For the 2023 survey, just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%). It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:
1. 89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users
2. 73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work
3. 82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisation's priority
4. 76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative
Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West. However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.
