• Older Persons Assessment Unit (OPAU) (inpatients)
• Older Persons wards (inpatients)
• Older Persons outliers (inpatients)
• Christchurch Day Hospital – offering specialist clinics and community outreach (outpatients)
As well as currently undergoing huge transformations structurally as we merge Bournemouth and Poole hospitals together, University Hospitals Dorset bring exciting opportunities across acute and community sites. This is a fantastic opportunity where you will be encouraged and supported to develop extended skills and enhanced practice in frailty with our highly regarded, innovative and motivated older person’s team in the hospital. The post will allow you to experience and build skills, including working holistically across professional boundaries, service development, supporting and supervising junior staff and opportunities to work alongside a range of experienced professionals.
We are looking for an Occupational Therapist who is comfortable completing generic core therapy assessments but whom can also provide specialist Occupational Therapy interventions. You will need to complete rapid and thorough assessments, be confident in clinically reasoned decision making, have excellent communication skills and work with various disciplines and departments to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and support early discharge. We pride ourselves on our close links with the multi-disciplinary team and feel integrated working is an essential aspect for the post holder.
This post is available to clinicians with:
• A minimum of two years’ experience working at Band 5 level
• NHS experience
• Willing to participate in 7 day working on a rota basis
• Ability to drive, hold a clean drivers licence and have access to a car for work purposes

Part time, or full time hours will be considered.
This role requires HCPC Registration
Base Location: Royal Bournemouth Hospital
Interview Date: TBC
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued team mates and colleagues
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have at interview
