A Vacancy at Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust.
We are excited to offer an opportunity for a passionate and self-motivated Occupational Therapist to join our dynamic and integrated therapy service within the Intensive Care Units (ICU) at the Royal Free Hospital, London. Our state-of-the-art ICU consists of 54 beds, including an 8-bed High Dependency Unit (HDU) and a 12-bed Post Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU), serving a diverse range of patients from specialist services such as hepatobiliary (HPB) surgery, vascular surgery, and liver/renal transplantation.
This is a fantastic role for an experienced band 6 or existing Band 7 OT looking to further expand their expertise in critical care and service development. You will encounter a variety of complex conditions, including liver and kidney failure, cardiac arrest, neurological conditions, ICU related weakness and infectious diseases. You will lead Occupational Therapy interventions for these patients applying advanced clinical reasoning to establish rehabilitation and discharge plans.
As a senior member of the CMS (Critical Care, Medicine, and Surgery) therapy team, you’ll collaborate closely with Physiotherapists and other professionals, guiding junior OTs and Therapy Assistants. You will play an integral role in developing and improving therapy services within the ICU as well as have opportunities to work jointly with other specialist services including Neuro REACT (Rehab and Complex Therapy) which provides intensive neurorehabilitation and complex disability management for patients transitioning from critical care to the acute wards.
Therapy Services at the Royal Free are truly interdisciplinary with a strong emphasis on active learning, development, and staff wellness. At the Royal Free, we offer regular in-service training, leadership programs, and mentorship opportunities. Our department is research-active, with our critical care OT team developing an ICU education programme for non-critical care trained OTs which was presented at RCOT conference. With the support of senior therapists and dedicated research and education teams, this role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of Occupational Therapy in critical care.
The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s biggest and most innovative trusts. Across three main hospitals, our dedicated army of staff care for over 1.6million patients, treat more than 200,000 in A&E, deliver over 8,000 babies and carry out more than 17million tests.
Our size, scale and influence offer you unrivalled career opportunities and a forward-thinking approach to working that works around your lifestyle. From flexible hours and generous benefits, to next level training, we make it easier to take your career to the top.
