We have an exciting opportunity to recruit to the OT Band 6 rotation to work within the acute services at the Victoria Hospital. We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Occupational Therapist to work alongside colleagues in the Acute Medical OT Team (MOE & Respiratory rotations), the Frailty Team, the Supported Discharge Units, NTC and Hand Therapy and potential of further rotations added within the Victoria Hospital. Rotations will be 9 months in each area.
A strong interest in working with a range of conditions (predominantly with patients living with frailty) to develop specialist skills and knowledge to deliver effective evidenced based care, to optimise occupational performance and promote and support safe and timely discharge from hospital, is essential to the role.
The successful candidate will manage their own caseload, participate in multi-agency working and will engage in quality improvement activities both collectively and independently.
There is an opportunity to develop additional competencies within Physiotherapy and basic nursing skills to support integrated working.
We ask for engagement with weekend working and we support this with a dynamic approach to work patterns. We consider adaptable working; provide hybrid undergraduate placements and we support selective home working for non-clinical pieces of work. Within the Frailty Team rotation there is an expectation you will undertake 12.5-hour shift pattern which includes weekends.
Please come and join our friendly department; further to the detail of the role above, you will receive in-service training, regular appraisal and PDP meetings, leadership development opportunities and both peer and management support.
Whilst the post holder should have the ability to travel throughout Fife effectively in a timely manner, the VHK is commutable from Lothian, Forth Valley, Dundee and Perth and car share amongst colleagues is often available.
