B6 Occupational Therapist
Part time or Full time, Permanent, Hazell Court, Sudbury
The opportunity has arisen to grow our Occupational Therapy service at the West Suffolk Foundation Trust with the Community Assessment Beds (CAB) team.
These community assessment beds provide ongoing assessment for patients following an inpatient admission at the acute hospital, or occasionally as admissions directly from the community. You would work within the multidisciplinary team at sites across West Suffolk (including care homes) to help those that are transitioning from an acute environment who require additional support and assessment prior to being discharged.
We will offer the successful candidates the opportunity to broaden their clinical practice, knowledge and skills with using evidence-based practice to help ensure the quality of service delivery meets the requirements of the patients and service. The post holder will support occupational therapy apprentice and other students as part of our wider programme. Promoting the role of occupational therapy within the Trust, and more widely is an essential part of the role.
The occupational therapy department is part of Integrated Therapy Services, and forms part of the wider West Suffolk Alliance. We are committed to professional development and evidence-based practice.
