We are looking for an Occupational Therapist who is passionate about optimising the lives of older people and recognising that every minute matters.
This is an exciting time to join our acute Care of Older People team as we work to develop the service in line with current national frailty initiatives and ensure we are delivering genuine Occupational Therapy in the acute setting. The successful candidate will play a vital role in developing this evolving service and so will work with the Clinical Specialist/Team Leader to continue service improvement work to support patients to minimise time in hospital, regain as much independence as possible and be able to age well and live a fulfilling life. The postholder will be based at Musgrove Park Hospital however there will be an expectation that assessment and intervention will also need to be undertaken in the patients home environment.
We have an excellent peer support programme and many opportunities for Continuing Professional Development.
The post holder will be motivated to improve services for the benefit of patients, have knowledge of frailty and ageing well and understand the value of the occupational therapy role within this area. It is recognised that patients with dementia and delirium are at greater risk of an extended hospital stay, the postholder will be creative and willing to trial different ways of working to optimise Occupational Therapy to these patients, working closely with community services
