A Vacancy at West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
We have an opportunity for a motivated occupational therapist to join a well-established team in the Inpatient Therapy department at West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust at Watford Hospital.
This is a full-time, fixed term post focusing on excellent care in a fast paced environment, and we would welcome existing Band 6 Occupational therapists who are looking to specialise in Stroke care and those experienced Band 5’s who are looking for the next step in their career.
This post is based on acute hospital wards and NHS experience is essential.
As part of the Stroke therapy team you will clinically manage a caseload, completing detailed assessment & treatments in stroke, with patients who have complex needs. You should have a caring, committed and quality focused approach to the provision of patient care.
The stroke team is a collaborative working team with integrated working with the Physiotherapists, with a chance to advance your skills through upskilling. Discharge planning skills are key to this post, and you will need to be able to make timely decisions regarding transfer to community services and managing referrals to specialist units.
In this post your development will be supported by Band 7 therapists. You will need to be a dynamic team player with excellent communication skills and the opportunity to teach, supervise and appraise more junior staff, assistants and students.
The team is 7 day working and this post would be included in that rota (frequency of 1:6 weekends) with rest days in the following week.
With a new hospital planned for Watford, work underway to update theatres at St Albans City Hospital and plans for a neighbourhood healthcare centre in Hemel Hempstead, this is an exciting time to join us.
We are building on the success of our award-winning virtual hospital and re-imagining models of care, working closely with partners and making the most of advances in digital healthcare.
Staff wellbeing and development are a priority, as is the role of innovation in improving clinical care, outcomes and patient experience.
Our vision is Excellent patient care, together and our values are to be empowered, compassionate, professional and inclusive. They capture an important balance across what we must all do as individuals and to support others.
We offer a variety of flexible working options as we recognise the importance of a good work life balance. www.westhertshospitals.nhs.uk/flexibleworking
If you have a disability or long-term health condition and require support or guidance please contact westherts.recruitment@nhs.net
If you are a Service Leaver, Veteran, Military Reserve, Cadet Force Adult Volunteer, or partner/spouse of those serving please tick "Member of the Armed Forces Community" on the application form.
We reserve the right to close this advert early due to the volume of applicants. Please apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
If you do not hear back within 3 weeks of your application, please assume you have been unsuccessful on this occasion.
