Highly Specialist Occupational Therapist - London, United Kingdom - Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
Description
We are looking to appoint an individual with experience of working with children with complex presentations and neurological difficulties, who has previously worked in an orthopaedic setting. You will need skills in postural management, manual handling and have the competencies required to assess for equipment to enable occupational engagement, particularly in relation to self-care activities.
The role involves pre-op assessment, post-op intervention and seating assessments for children undergoing complex orthopaedic surgery in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Surgery is predominately lower limb and spinal, but there are also a small number of upper limb orthopaedic procedures undertaken. Liaison with children's local services is paramount to ensure continuity of care and safe discharge and expert communication skills are therefore a necessity. The role also involves input to the Pan Hospital Wheelchair Service and previous experience of assessing for and providing a wide range of wheelchairs and seating systems is required.
You will be one of five Occupational Therapists working in this team and the post is line managed by the Clinical Specialist Occupational Therapist in Orthopaedics and Spines. As a senior member of this team, the post-holder will also be responsible for prioritisation and delegation of duties to others on a day to day basis. They will also supervise a Band 6 Occupational Therapist as well as students.
