Acute / Community Settings
Occupational Therapy
This post provides an exciting opportunity for an innovative, enthusiastic therapist to join the OT service across acute and community settings of NHS Borders as a band 5 Occupational Therapist. The position will enable the post holder to rotate through various clinical settings including orthopaedics, acute medicine, department of medicine of the elderly/stroke, community hospitals, Children & Young People’s Service and community settings. Placement experience in providing occupational therapy to orthopaedic, department of medicine of the elderly, children & Young people and community patient groups is advantageous. The post will involve working closely with a variety of multi-disciplinary teams to assess/treat service users with the aim of maximising independence and facilitating prompt discharge where appropriate. Opportunities for personal development (CPD) are encouraged with access to the nationally driven Flying Start Programme and regular in-service training programme, as well as frequent supervision. For further information please contact Maxine Elliot, OT Team Lead on 07747757417. ***PLEASE NOTE: We cannot accept late applications so please ensure your application is submitted early*** NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period, for which you would be paid, until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Hiring Manager. NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
