About us:

Princess Alice Hospice is a charity supporting people in life, death and grief. We’re dedicated to working closely with individuals, communities and organisations in the London Boroughs of Kingston and Richmond and large parts of Surrey, to ensure more people receive the support they need.

About the role:

We are looking for a caring and enthusiastic Occupational Therapist to join our Hospice at Home team, supporting patients in the comfort of their own homes.

In this role, you’ll take a holistic approach, supporting patients’ physical, psychological, social and cognitive needs. Working both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will assess, plan and deliver personalised interventions, promoting a rehabilitative and enablement-focused approach to care.

You’ll build meaningful relationships with patients, families and carers, using advanced communication skills to support them through challenging and sensitive situations. Working alongside colleagues and external partners, you’ll help ensure patients are supported to remain in their preferred place of care wherever possible.

This is a rewarding opportunity to combine your clinical skills with compassionate care in a supportive and collaborative environment.

We are looking for someone who shares our values of Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence, and who is committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred care.

If you’re an experienced and motivated Occupational Therapist looking for a role where you can truly connect with the people you support, we would love to hear from you.

As well as joining an organisation where you will be able to make a difference for our patients and their families, some of our benefits include:

  • 27 days’ annual leave, plus recognised public holidays – rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service (pro rata for part time)
  • Educational and professional development opportunities (education team on site)
  • Free onsite parking
  • Regular clinical supervision
  • Subsidised meals at onsite canteen
  • Employee Assistance Programme – promoting staff wellbeing
  • Access to blue light card discount
  • Access to Group Personal Pension Plan (provided by Scottish Widows) plus we also offer an Auto-enrolment pension with NEST. If you have been a member of the NHS Pension Scheme, you may be able to continue your contributions to that scheme during your time at Princess Alice Hospice
  • In – house laundry of uniforms, plus excellent changing
  • facilities (with showers)
  • Wellbeing - We provide a programme of activities, opportunities and guidance to inspire and support our employees to live a healthy life, at home and at work.
