You will need advanced communication skills to ensure a successful multidisciplinary approach to patient care and will be in regular discussions with patients, carers, JPUH colleagues and community partners on therapy plans. You will be responsible for other non-clinical duties such as leading on team meetings; in-service development ideas; training/supervision of students, therapy assistant practitioners and Band 5 and 6 colleagues. This will include the use of formal appraisal documentation.

Job summary
BAND 6 OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST - ROTATIONAL Full Time | Permanent

Our diverse Band 6 rotations include:
- Stroke/Neuro
- Acute Medicine
- ICU/Cardio-Respiratory/General Surgery
- Orthopaedics
- Early Intervention Team
Rotations are six months giving you time to develop and embed new skills as well as play a key role in service development ideas and projects before transferring these to your next rotational area. We have a strong positive relationship with our community partners enabling us to work closely together.
You will receive protected time for supervision, training and skill development opportunities within each specialism provided by supportive clinicians and also opportunities to build on skills such as student/junior supervision, audits and service development projects.Individual support is high on our agenda, and we are an inclusive department, experienced to support specific needs.
We have a strong reputation for home grown career progression through welcoming every new team member and supporting them to settle, develop and grow.

You will need advanced communication skills to ensure a successful multidisciplinary approach to patient care and will be in regular discussions with patients, carers, JPUH colleagues, community partners etc. on treatment plans and future care.
You will be responsible for non-clinical duties, including participating in team meetings, in-service development, training and supervision of students, assistant staff and Band 5 colleagues. You will be key to being actively involved in the measurement and evaluation of your work and current practices through the use of Evidence Based Practice projects, audit and outcome measures. There will be opportunities to work on group projects with your Band 6 peers. Recent projects have included developing the Therapy Assistant Practitioner competencies and improving the palliative care service.

Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 5 Occupational Therapist to join the newly established Burren Intermediate Care Beds Service on a 12-month fixed-term basis. The service has been funded for an initial period of one year. This post offers a valuable opportunity to be part of a new service from its early development, helping to establish effective ways of working and shape a high-quality, person-centred rehabilitation offer. The Burren Intermediate Care Beds Service provides rehabilitation, recovery and discharge-planning support for adults who no longer require acute hospital care but continue to need assessment, rehabilitation, reablement and multidisciplinary intervention before returning home or moving to a more appropriate care setting. As part of the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Discharge to Assess pathway, the service supports the Home First approach by promoting independence, maximising recovery and enabling safe and timely discharge from hospital. You will join a developing multidisciplinary team and work alongside occupational therapists, physiotherapists, nurses, medical staff, social care colleagues, rehabilitation support workers and community services. You will provide high-quality occupational therapy assessment and intervention for adults with a range of physical, cognitive, psychological and functional needs.
Main duties of the job
As a Band 5 Occupational Therapist, you will manage a defined caseload and work as an autonomous practitioner within your professional scope of practice, with support and supervision from senior therapists. You will undertake comprehensive occupational therapy assessments, identifying how an individual's physical health, cognition, psychological wellbeing, social circumstances and environment affect the ability to complete daily activities and participate in meaningful occupations. Working with individuals, carers and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will develop, implement and review person-centred rehabilitation plans. Interventions will be evidence based, goal orientated and focused on maximising independence, participation and wellbeing. You will contribute to safe and timely discharge planning by assessing functional ability, daily living skills, cognition, mobility, safety and environmental needs. This will include recommending and arranging equipment and minor adaptations where appropriate. You will communicate effectively with individuals, families, carers and partner organisations, ensuring that occupational therapy recommendations are clearly understood and incorporated into wider care and discharge plans.
