Job description

Occupational Therapy Assistant in Orthopaedics and Surgery (15 hours a weekend, 0.4 WTE Band 4)

An opportunity has arisen within the Therapy Department at West Herts Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for an individual with a passion to make a difference for patients on our Orthopaedic and Surgical Wards at Watford General Hospital.

This post is based in the inpatient Orthopaedic and Surgical therapy team, working alongside qualified Occupational Therapists.

The post is a weekend post working Saturday and Sunday 8am-4pm.

The post holder will be expected to work with some level of autonomy, managing their own caseload of non-complex patients, with access to supervision from qualified Therapists.

This is a great opportunity to join a friendly, dedicated therapy team, striving to improve our service. This post holder will be based at Watford General Hospital working on acute wards helping patients to return home from the hospital.

There has never been a more exciting time to join West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust! Major redevelopment works are due for completion by 2025 or soon after. These will be most dramatic at Watford General Hospital where up to 90% of buildings will be new.

The trust has recently gained ‘teaching hospital’ status which reflects the dedicated work of many teams and individuals who have set the standard for delivering high quality training, learning and education at all levels of the workforce.

We encourage and welcome people with disabilities. If you need help, please ask.

We reserve the right to close this advert early due to the volume of applicants. Please apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

If you do not hear back within 3 weeks of your application, please assume you have been unsuccessful on this occasion.

The Therapy Assistant post would suit an individual with experience of assisting patients with rehabilitation goals, supporting patient discharges and providing equipment that may help patients regain independence. If you have this experience, in a social or health care setting and would like to develop your skills in Surgical and Orthopaedic care, we would welcome you to apply.
