Job summary

We have a really exciting opportunity as part of a test of change for an experienced Occupational Therapist to join our dynamic, supportive, multi-disciplinary team at Bromyard Community Hospital.

Are you an innovative Occupational Therapist with a passion for improving rehabilitation outcomes and driving new ways of working?

We are seeking a motivated and forward-thinking Occupational Therapist to join our community hospital team to support the development and evaluation of therapy interventions for the Discharge to Assess pathways. This exciting role will focus on demonstrating the impact of earlier therapy involvement, reducing hospital-associated deconditioning, and delivering person-centred rehabilitation that enables patients to achieve their goals and return home sooner.

Working collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team, you will help shape and implement evidence-based approaches that maximise patient independence, improve functional outcomes, and support effective patient flow across the healthcare system.

We may consider a band 5 for this position dependent upon level of experience.

Main duties of the job

The Occupational Therapy Service in Community Hospitals aims to develop the patient's optimum level of function and independence in the physical, psychological and social aspects of life, facilitating timely, safe and sustainable discharge.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to service transformation and help shape the future delivery of rehabilitation within community hospitals. You will play a key role in demonstrating how earlier therapeutic intervention can improve patient outcomes, reduce deconditioning, enhance patient experience, and support timely discharge and patient flow.

Together, we are committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred rehabilitation that enables people to live as independently as possible and achieve the outcomes that matter most to them.

The focus of this role will be to plan and coordinate the safe discharge home for adults with a range of complex needs, liaising with community services to support a discharge to assess philosophy.

As a service we are proactive in supporting professional development and facilitating service improvement.
