ITOC Occupational Therapist

Make a real difference from the moment someone leaves hospital.

Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist looking for a role where your clinical expertise can genuinely change lives?

Join our innovative Integrated Transfer of Care (ITOC) Team, where you'll play a key role in helping people leave hospital safely, regain their independence and return to living well in their own homes and communities.

This is an exciting opportunity to work as part of a dynamic, multidisciplinary team alongside Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Nurses, Assistant Practitioners, Social Services and wider community teams.

This is much more than a traditional discharge role. You'll work across a variety of settings, including A&E, Frailty and the Recovery Hub, using your clinical skills to make timely, person-centred decisions that can have an immediate and lasting impact. Our approach is simple: Home First.

You'll support people who are medically fit to leave hospital, helping them to regain their confidence, strength and independence through tailored rehabilitation, reablement and short-term interventions.

You'll also have the opportunity to support people who may otherwise be admitted to hospital, providing timely assessment and intervention that enables them to return home safely.
