At the NHS, we are reminded every day of how important life is. As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement whether that’s job share, part time or another flexible pattern. In addition, although the role advertised may have a ‘home’ office base indicated, we remain committed to supporting flexibility around workplace locations. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.
The successful applicant will be an NHS employee and may therefore have contact with vulnerable service users. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been necessary to take significant steps to protect the health and safety of our staff, service users and those attending our sites. Unless exempt, we encourage and support staff to be vaccinated as this remains the best line of defence against COVID-19.
Job overview
The Woodfield Stroke Unit has temporarily relocated to Liskeard Stroke rehabilitation ward until 31/03/26 whilst remediation work commence on the Woodfield stroke unit.
The Woodfield Stroke Unit is a small dedicated facility set within Anchor Ward at Bodmin Hospital. We have 13 stroke rehabilitation beds as part of the Cornwall stroke pathway.
We are looking to recruit a B5 OT to join our enthusiastic and friendly team. Previous experience in stroke rehabilitation is desirable but is not essential for this post. This is a stand alone post and not part of a rotation.
This is an outstanding opportunity for anybody who wants to develop a thorough grounding in stroke rehabilitation, both as an occupational therapist and as part of a multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary team. We will help you develop both clinically and professionally through formal and informal supervision and in-service training. You must be dedicated to your own continuous professional development.
Main duties of the job
The successful applicant will have to be able to work the core hours of 8am-6pm (most shifts start at 8am, but sometimes we flex to begin working at 10am) and some weekend working is also a requirement.
For more information and to arrange a visit to the Stroke Unit please contact Rob Downie, Occupational Therapist/Therapy Team Lead on 01208 251390/01208 251371 or via [email protected].
Working for our organisation
We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.
Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
