The post holder will work alongside colleagues to support the assessment of need across a range of clinical conditions with varying degrees of complexity. As an occupational therapist you will have direct input into the assessment and treatment of patients, delivering evidence based interventions to facilitate recovery, prevent deconditioning, promote well being and optimise independent functioning as far as reasonably possible in all areas of life; with a focus on facilitating timely discharges and preventing hospital admissions in the most acute clinical areas in the Trust.
