Occupational Therapist - Community

About our team:
Is care at your core? It is at ours. Palliative and end of life is a time when care really matters. We support our Occupational Therapists to be the difference in these precious days: to care the way you were trained to care. With outstanding patient to carer ratios. With time to build valued relationships with your patients, their families, and friends.

The secret to our CQC ‘outstanding’ rating is simple. We care for our carers. We’re ambitious - blazing new trails in end of life care - and supporting the ambitions of our clinicians with on-site training and qualifications.

We’re small enough to value each individual and big enough to help nurture your career goals. You’ll be part of a great team of experienced healthcare professionals to learn from and learn with, delivering care you can take pride in.

About the role:

We’re looking for a caring and enthusiastic Occupational Therapist to work within our Hospice at Home team supporting people within their own homes. You will contribute to the holistic assessment of patient’s palliative care needs focusing on their physical, psychological, social, and cognitive needs. With the support of our Senior Specialist OT and the wider multi-disciplinary team, you will be able to work independently to assess, implement, and evaluate the occupational therapy needs of patients, to provide high quality specialist palliative occupational therapy.

Like us, you will be committed to our values and behaviours of Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence.

If you are an experienced and motivated Occupational Therapist, looking to make a difference to patients’ lives when it matters most, we would love to hear from you!

As well as joining an organisation where you will be able to make a difference for our patients and their families, some of our benefits include:

• 27 days’ annual leave, plus recognised public holidays – rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service (pro rata for part time)
• Educational and professional development opportunities (education team on site)
• Free onsite parking
• Regular clinical supervision

Discover the difference you can be. The difference is you.
