About the Role

This is a hands-on opportunity for a passionate therapist who wants to make a difference fast. Based in A&E and acute assessment areas, this role’s all about acting quickly and smartly to support safe, effective discharges. You’ll be a key player in an Integrated Discharge Team, working shoulder-to-shoulder with nurses, social care practitioners, and geriatricians.

Every patient matters here. You’ll be assessing older adults in crisis, often navigating a tangle of physical, medical, and social needs. It’s complex, but rewarding. You’ll not only drive clinical outcomes, you’ll shape how the service grows. Whether you’re already at Band 6 or a Band 5 ready to step up, this is your shot at meaningful work and career growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver specialist OT or PT assessments in emergency and acute settings
• Recommend and fit equipment that supports patient independence
• Work closely with families and carers to enable safe transitions home
• Supervise junior staff and mentor students on clinical placements
• Collaborate with other professionals to ensure timely, holistic care
• Support ongoing service development and audit projects
