Job overview
We are offering an exciting opportunity to join our well-established Acute Stroke Occupational Therapy Service. The Acute Stroke Unit (ASU) at the John Radcliffe Hospital is a -bed unit and works as a cohesive multi-professional team (MDT), delivering hyper-acute and acute services to stroke survivors to maximise recovery, patient experience, and quality of life. The ASU MDT consistently scores grade A for quality outcomes in SSNAP and provides services over a seven-day period.
This is an ideal opportunity for those with Band level experience to progress working in the specialty of neurological rehabilitation or those who are already working as a Band seeking to gain more specialist experience.
As part of a MDT, you will manage a varied caseload and plan and undertake specialist Occupational Therapy assessments and interventions.
We support staff to protect a proportion of their time for CPD, clinical audit, quality improvement, and service development projects. This role provides a great opportunity to develop both clinical and leadership skills.
We are seeking Occupational Therapists who are enthusiastic, passionate, and great communicators. We commit to providing learning and development opportunities and support you with regular supervision, peer support, and great teamwork.
Main duties of the job
To act as an autonomous practitioner, providing therapeutic interventions of the highest standard, in alignment with national and professional guidelines, working across a range of disciplines and settings, including (but not limited to):
1. To provide specialist Occupational Therapy (OT) assessment, treatment, and discharge planning to patients with a stroke diagnosis as an autonomous practitioner.
2. To work effectively with the wider interdisciplinary team (IDT).
3. To clinically supervise junior OTs, assistants, and students.
4. To assist the Team Lead OT in the provision, monitoring, and ongoing development of the service to ensure it continues to meet the needs of the service users and responds to government and trust initiatives.
5. To actively participate in quality improvement, clinical audit, and research projects.
