Due to internal promotion within our Orthopaedics team, a permanent part time position has arisen at Forth Valley Royal Hospital for an experienced, enthusiastic and well-motivated Occupational Therapist to join our team working within the Acute Services throughout Forth Valley.

This post is based within the Orthopaedics Team and the post-holder will be one of a team of seven OT staff and will be responsible for supporting the Team Lead in the day to day provision of OT services across orthopaedic services.

This is an exciting time to join the team who have recently adopted a 5/7 working pattern (postholder would be expected to cover 1 in 7 weekends) to improve continuity of care and achieve better outcomes for our patients.

You will have opportunity to use your assessment skills, and to plan and implement short-term rehabilitation programmes, working within multi-disciplinary teams and liaising with community agencies.

You will be able to demonstrate a high understanding of Occupational Therapy and, in particular, issues within the specified clinical area.
