At the London Borough of Bexley we are committed to embracing change and innovation where we offer staff:
Exciting opportunities to be innovative and be part of the design and delivery of improvements for service delivery, such as:
Discharge to Assess - a prototype model based on safely discharging patients from hospital to their own homes, with a multi-disciplinary assessment of the individual's social care needs in their own at homes, which has been viewed as a positive improvement by the Department of Health
Refresh is a team of complex care social care workers who have developed a strength's based assessment to increase independence underpinned by the personalisation agenda.
Learning Disability Transformation is a Co-production Programme where Bexley is working closely with service providers and their service users and carers to promote and develop the local offer to help increase personal choice and control
Transition team who are improving partnership working with health, education and children's social care are committed to ensuring that the voice, hopes and aspirations of the child is central to any planning and provision.
Telecare development where innovation in equipment developments will help enable individuals to live independently, or be able to remain at home.
Good workforce development with clear career pathways across a range of roles for qualified and unqualified social care staff. Innovative learning and development of staff. We recently held a Hack Day which you can view on:
Regular opportunities to meet with the Corporate Management Team and the Chief Executive, Gill Steward, where the drivers for change are informed by a 'ground upwards' ethos where the workforce are instrumental to shaping change and improvements.
A commitment to Health and Social Care Integration to provide a comprehensive service for residents. We are currently planning a joint service with co-location and centralised management of integrated services. Joining Bexley now will give you the opportunity to contribute to the shaping and delivery of integrated services.
The Residential Rehabilitation multidisciplinary team provide rehabilitation, reablement and social care across two sites - a 30-bed Meadow View Unit at Queen Mary's Hospital and seven self-contained flats in Crayford. The aim is to maximise service users' independence and help them to return home.
We are looking for two enthusiastic and proactive Occupational Therapists to join our Integrated Residential Reablement Team. If you have experience in the rehabilitation field and working knowledge of moving and handling techniques, we can offer you the chance to drive your career forward within an ambitious and driven service.
You'll work closely with Nurses, Social Workers, Rehabilitation Assistants, Physiotherapists, Doctors, Activity Co-ordinator and volunteers from both Health and Social Care backgrounds.

Due to the fact that you'll be carrying out visits in patients' homes and other settings within the community, it is essential that you are able to travel around the Borough.
