Are you keen to develop an Occupational Therapy Service in an adult Critical Care Unit alongside an MDT comprising of Physiotherapists, Dietitians and Speech and Language Therapists, if so then read on.

We are looking for a dynamic Highly Specialist Occupational Therapist to work in this emerging area of practice for Occupational Therapy within our general adult Critical Care Units and to outreach to complex patients and therapists working in in-patient therapy.

We have two general Critical Care Units on two hospital sites at the Trust, both of which are covered by therapy. The patients are very varied and have a large range of complexity originating from many specialities including medicine, stroke, neurology, orthopaedics, surgery and renal and hence requiring a broad set of transferrable advanced skills as well as a desire to take the MDT on an exciting journey of discovery of the role of Occupational Therapy within this field. 

Healthcare is a 7 day service and therefore the expectation will be for you to support weekend working.

Interviews for this role will be conducted in person to assess relevant skills effectively.
