Rotational Occupational Therapist

at  CITY HEALTH CARE PARTNERSHIP CIC

Are you looking for a rotational post in the community in Hull and the East Riding? We are able to offer a rotational post that currently covers Hull and East Riding Community Rehabilitation and Hull and East Riding Intermediate Care. Our Community Rehabilitation team work with patients who have a variety of physical and neurological conditions, with the overall aim of them being able to maintain or improve their functional ability after illness/injury or a deterioration in their condition.
We work alongside Physiotherapists and Associate Practitioners to achieve patient goals, which can be as varied as being able to prepare a meal independently following a brain injury, to being able to get up the stairs to use the bathroom following a hip fracture.
The aim of our Intermediate Care service is to prevent hospital admissions and to facilitate discharges. We have several bedded units in the community where we work on rehab goals with patients before they go home. We also carry out rehab with people in their own homes, and we respond to crisis when people are struggling at home .
We work alongside Physios, Nurses, Pharmacists, GPs and Associate Practitioners in our MDTs. The working pattern in Intermediate Care includes working some weekends/public holidays and evenings until 8pm.
We have recently begun a cross organisational rotation with our Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust colleagues, therefore are very pleased to be able to support staff who are wanting to have experience in both physical and mental health. We are very happy to support and develop new staff, including those who have recently qualified and are developing their professional skills. We have a supportive Band 5 peer group who meet regularly, and an OT Professional Development group also.
