We have an exciting opportunity for a newly qualified or established Occupational Therapist to join our friendly team of therapists at Tewkesbury Community Hospital, Abbeyview Ward. We welcome applications from those looking for their first post or those seeking to develop their existing role. The successful candidate will be an integral member of the team and will work in a ward-based environment. You will work with an experienced and friendly multidisciplinary team alongside physiotherapists, nurses, GPs, mental health services and social care.
If you are enthusiastic, have a person-centred approach to care, enjoy working within a small team of therapists and are keen to progress clients to achieve their goals we would love to hear from you. In turn you will be well supported with CPD opportunities to develop and grow as a therapist within our organisation. We are ideally looking for part time occupational therapist, to include a Monday and a Thursday.
Main duties of the job
The purpose built hospital has 20 single ensuite rooms providing sub-acute care, rehabilitation and end of life care to patients. This also includes 10 Community Assessment and Treatment beds that provide sub-acute care and rapid MDT assessment to patients directly admitted from the community. Our aim is to enable people to live as independently as possible and the ethos of the team is rehabilitation with a person-led approach to achieve recovery and return home. Much of the role involves assessment of patients with multiple pathologies, implementing rehabilitation goals and coordinating safe discharges for the patients. We pride ourselves on being a creative and innovative team who enjoy the benefits of the autonomous style of working that the ward allows.
Other benefits
Other benefits include working in a modern, well-equipped facility with a friendly team and ample free parking.
The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.
About us
We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a diverse range of services. We strive to support an organisational culture that is welcoming, builds and celebrates inclusivity and diversity and provides a sense of belonging and trust.
The annual NHS Staff Survey gives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust. For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%). It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:
89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users 73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work 82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority 76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative
Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West. However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.
