Through CPD evidence, you should be able to demonstrate a keen interest in all areas of in-patient activity including rehabilitation settings.

You will work with senior Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Clinical Support Workers and the wider multi-disciplinary team. There will be an expectation for you to deliver evidence-based practice, participate in service development and audit, and contribute to in-service training. You will support clinical supervision and appraisals and be involved in the development of Occupational Therapy students and Clinical Support Workers.

For informal enquiries, please contact Janet Thomas or Vicki Salisbury, Therapy Lead/s, Queen Margaret Hospital [phone] ext. 25054/22177.

To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service.

As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre-settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, please refer to the GOV.UK websitehere.

For specific types of post, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it might be possible (though not guaranteed) to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licenced Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’. Further information on these criteria can be foundhere.

It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsoredBEFORE submitting your application form.

We offer flexible working and family-friendly policies and fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
