Occupational Therapist

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an HCPC registered Occupational Therapist to join our supportive and welcoming band five rotation.  This post is perfect for a new graduate OT or someone looking to broaden their experience within a varied rotational post.

In our band five rotation there are opportunities to rotate through orthopaedics, acute medical, surgical, neuro/stroke rehabilitation, wheelchair services, Inverness community rehabilitation, discharge to assess and rapid response and The National Treatment Centre.

In the post, you will work with patients with a wide variety of conditions and presentations.  In the acute hospital rotations, your focus will be on facilitating safe and timely discharges from the hospital setting. In the community rotations the focus is provision of complex occupational therapy assessment and interventions to help maximise client function and independence focusing predominantly on  rehabilitation and the provision of equipment and adaptations.  In some parts of the rotation, there will be a requirement to work as part of a seven day rota. 

You will have opportunities for continuous professional development, you will receive regular clinical supervision and you will have the opportunity to be involved in practice placement education.

The Raigmore Hospital / Inverness Community Occupational Therapy teams are warm and friendly teams, who deliver a high quality service with a dynamic and patient centred approach.

Inverness is the capital of the Scottish Highlands and offers a wide range of leisure opportunities for those looking to live in a beautiful city that is both well connected and is the gateway to the great outdoors.
