This role offers a unique opportunity to work within one of London’s eight designated Hyper-Acute Stroke Units (HASUs)—a centre of excellence for acute stroke rehabilitation and care.

Collaborate closely with neurologists, physiotherapists, nurses, and other specialists to deliver seamless, holistic care.
• Service Innovation
Be part of a pioneering initiative aimed at improving patient flow and experience across the stroke pathway—from ED onward—while influencing practice at a regional level.
• Lead a Multidisciplinary Stroke Therapy Team
Oversee a team that includes Band 6 Physiotherapy and Speech and Language Therapy posts, delivering specialist care to stroke patients in the Emergency Department and on non-stroke wards.
• Advanced Clinical Practice
Play a major and specialist role in the advanced assessment, treatment, and clinical management of stroke patients—determining clinical diagnosis, functional deficits, and appropriate occupational therapy interventions.
• Service Efficiency & Innovation
Develop dynamic, efficient, and effective OT working processes to support a fully multi-professional team approach in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
• Service Development & Leadership
Collaborate with Clinical Lead Therapists to shape and evolve the service in response to changing health and social care priorities.
• Team Management & Cross-Speciality Work
Be responsible for a team within your clinical area, with the potential to work across more than one speciality.
• Support a 7-Day Service Model
Contribute to a 7-day working rota to ensure consistent, high-quality care.
