An ability to develop excellent working relationships and processes with colleagues within the acute and community settings is essential.

This will involve coordinating and delivering timely OT assessments and intervention in hospital settings and, on occasion, in people’s homes. The OT will assess the ability of highly complex individuals to manage daily activities and will liaise with families, carers, and advocates working with Hospital Bed Management and the Discharge Liaison teams and in partnership with Local Authority community care division to facilitate timely discharge from hospital. The successful applicant will work closely with other teams within the therapies directorate to advise the multidisciplinary team regarding the potential for discharge where environmental or functional issues have been identified and, where appropriate, co-ordinate a short-term rehabilitation programme liaising with community-based teams such as Reablement and Intermediate Care to ensure appropriate follow-up.
