Occupational Therapist
Job Posted: 5 hours ago
Salary: £ Competitive
Job Type: Contract
Location: Hackney, Greater London
Expire in: a month
Job Description
This is an exciting opportunity to join our dynamic Hackney Occupational
Therapy and Sensory Service within our Hospital Team.
This role is both dynamic and challenging, placing the customer at the centre
of service delivery. You will provide outstanding occupational therapy
interventions that promote independence in daily living activities, fostering an
ethos of co-production to give residents choice and control.
The Integrated Discharge Service assesses Hackney residents, whether in
hospital across London and beyond, to identify the most suitable and safe
discharge destination and support plan. We prioritise safe discharges that
respect individualsʼ legal rights and wishes. The team collaborates with
multi-disciplinary hospital teams and attends their meetings on relevant
wards. The service is inclusive of those in acute settings with a learning
disability, mental health diagnosis, or dementia. Also, it supports residents
with no recourse to public funds who have eligible care needs. It operates
seven days a week, and staff are welcome to contribute to weekend working if
they wish. Community Reviews are carried out collaboratively with residents,
family members, carers, and other professionals to ensure long-term needs
are assessed and any emerging concerns addressed.
We go the extra mile for our residents, supporting them to reach their full
potential and realise their aspirations. We are deeply committed to integrated
working across health and social care, aligned with the hospital, which has
given us opportunities to collaborate more closely with social workers, health
professionals, care navigators, and local assets to deliver the best holistic
outcomes.
We recognise that staff are vital to our success, and we are seeking an
Occupational Therapist who is passionate about social care, with ambition,
creativity, and commitment to our values, to help us deliver the best for the
people of Hackney. If you are an enthusiastic Occupational Therapist with
experience in a social care setting and can help advance our vision of a
dynamic, outcome-focused organisation driven by digital innovation and
partnership working, we want to hear from you.
