Are you a qualified NHS Occupational Therapist looking for your next career step? Want to enhance your experience across different patients, care settings and develop as a clinical leader in one of the UK’s largest hospital Trusts?

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Specialist Occupational Therapist to work within our Acute Medicine Therapy team based across the Northern General and Royal Hallamshire Hospitals.

As a Specialist Occupational Therapist you will be working alongside a team of other, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and support staff, providing early assessment, intervention and discharge planning utilising their clinical reasoning skills for a complex and diverse case-mix of patients.

Throughout your time you’ll have the guidance and supervision of our clinical specialists and wider team, to offer you support, help you manage your caseload and complex patients, and help develop your specific area of interest and skills to further your career.

We also offer excellent in-service training programs to support staff to continue with postgraduate training and developing clinical and leadership skills, including developing and delivering education, supervision, mentorship, and service developments.
