Are you a highly qualified, reliable, and innovative Occupational Therapist with proven experience and ambition? Join an organization committed to delivering excellent care by the best people. We are seeking passionate individuals for various rotations including Stroke, Acute Frailty Therapy, Care of the Elderly, Specialist Hematology and Oncology, Gastroenterology, Renal, Acute Respiratory, Orthopedics, Surgical, Medical, and Respiratory wards. Visa sponsorship opportunities are available at BHRUT.

We offer competitive salaries compared to inner-London hospitals and a tailored bonus package for new starters. Our philosophy emphasizes continuous learning to improve patient outcomes and develop staff skills, with structured career progression opportunities within BHRUT.

Supported by our Practice Development Facilitator for Therapies and Senior Intern for Allied Healthcare Professionals, BHRUT provides an ideal environment for career growth. We have an established in-service training program and are supported by experienced Band 7 Occupational Therapists and Band 8a Clinical Leads.

Your responsibilities include performing advanced assessments for patients with diverse and complex conditions, diagnosing functional status, and developing individualized treatment plans. You will manage your own caseload and work independently within a defined area, with access to senior advice and support. Supervision and professional development are integral to our practice, including informal and formal discussions, clinical reasoning sessions, and peer reviews.

You will undertake all clinical duties as an autonomous practitioner, demonstrating excellent time management and planning skills. Additionally, you will supervise, educate, and assess less experienced staff to ensure departmental standards are met.

Our trust, led by Chair Jacqui Smith and Chief Executive Matthew Trainer, serves residents from diverse London boroughs and parts of south-west Essex. Over half of our 7,500 staff are from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic groups, primarily residing in Barking and Dagenham, Havering, and Redbridge. We provide comprehensive healthcare services across two main hospital sites—King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford—as well as outpatient services at several clinics. Our emergency departments are among the busiest in London.

As we recover from COVID-19, we are proud to lead nationally in reducing treatment wait times. The pandemic has driven innovation and change within our teams. We are committed to further improvements in urgent and emergency care waiting times and are proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre, Hyper Acute Stroke Unit, and dedicated breast care services. We are also part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.
