This is an exciting opportunity to join a new, dynamic, vibrant team.

The role requires:
-Working as an independent clinical professional with the essential knowledge and skills, problem solving techniques, and clinical reasoning as is required in this specialist area
-Using evidence based/client centred principles and clinical reasoning to assess, plan, implement and evaluate interventions
-Facilitating complex discharge packages of care and giving advice and information to other disciplines and agencies
-Contributing to the training and development of others when required
-Participating in the planning, development and evaluation of Occupational Therapy services within the unit and within the organisation as a whole where appropriate
-Supervising other members of staff, e.g. Therapy Technicians and Rehabilitation Support Workers, in carrying out the programmes the Occupational Therapist has devised.
