Job description

We are seeking a skilled and passionate Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist with an interest in Hand Therapy to join our dynamic team at BHRUT. Our team is committed to delivering exceptional patient care through expert evaluation and rehabilitation of hand injuries.

Our team is based across two sites, King George Hospital and Queens Hospital, providing Hand Therapy services for three London boroughs. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a highly experienced team, engage in service development and in-service training, and provide specialist evidence-based hand therapy. Our team is supportive and collaborative, offering rewarding opportunities for professional development and making a real difference in patients' lives.

If you're interested in this exciting opportunity and possess the skills outlined in the job description, we would love to hear from you!

Key responsibilities include:

1. Providing high standards of physiotherapy/OT services, facilitating and maximising patient potential within the service boundaries.
2. Fulfilling teaching and supervisory roles with peers, junior staff, and students on placement.

We’re an organization that is continually improving, driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are satisfied with. We’ve recently opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH), and our Chief Executive, Matthew Trainer, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal.

Our main sites are KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford, with busy emergency departments serving over 330,000 visitors last year. We are campaigning for the £35m needed to transform the A&E at Queen’s and eliminate corridor care.

Our patients benefit from services like the Women’s Health Hub in Ilford, the Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch, and Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub in Hornchurch. These centres operate 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing an additional 88,000 scans annually.

Our staff, over 8,000 from 146 countries, come from diverse backgrounds across the three London boroughs we serve. Many work flexibly, and over 400 are enrolled in our Ofsted-accredited apprenticeship programs. We are proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We are excited to introduce an electronic patient record system that will benefit both staff and patients.
