Education And Training à Grande-Bretagne

A Vacancy at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust.


We are looking for three Band 6 Occupational Therapists, wishing to take their next steps on the career ladder and looking for a new challenge. The individuals need to be proactive and enthusiastic and will be joining either the Elderly Medical Team or the Orthopaedic Team at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. There is flexibility to this role depending on the successful candidates, it could be static within the orthopaedic or elderly team or can be rotational between the specialities.

The post holder will work as part of an integrated team as an autonomous practitioner to provide a high standard of intervention across the specialities.

Our integrated team is committed to providing highly specialist assessment, diagnosis and treatment of patients within the elderly, frailty and orthopaedic settings. You will be required to work alongside your colleagues as an independent practitioner in applying a high level of clinical reasoning to ensure individualised, proactive and holistic assessment and treatment planning.


As a member of both the integrated rehabilitation service and the multidisciplinary teams on the wards, excellent skills in communication are essential.

As a Band 6 therapist you will be supporting and developing rotational Band 5 therapists. The role also involves supervising therapy support staff and educating therapy students on placement.

There will be opportunities for innovation and an expectation that you will be actively involved in relevant quality improvement projects to develop the team.

The integrated Rehabilitation Service aims to provide a progressive, forward thinking approach to patient care whilst able to support its staff in personal development and continued education and training.

There’s never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We’re working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital to open in 2030 and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we’ve ever undertaken.

Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.

At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.

We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as ‘Good’, and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.
We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome.

We love working here and think you will too.
