Use your clinical skills, compassion and rehabilitative approach to help people receive specialist hospice care at home.

At Princess Alice Hospice, we support people through life, death and grief across the London Boroughs of Kingston, Richmond and large parts of Surrey. We are looking for a caring and enthusiastic Senior Occupational Therapist to join our Hospice at Home team, supporting patients in the comfort of their own homes.

What we offer:

·         27 days’ annual leave, plus recognised public holidays, rising with service, pro rata for part-time.

·         Educational and professional development opportunities, supported by our on-site Education Team.

·         Free onsite parking, subsidised meals and in-house laundry of uniforms.

·         Regular clinical supervision and a supportive, collaborative working environment.

·         Employee Assistance Programme, wellbeing support and Blue Light Card access.

·         Access to Group Personal Pension Plan (provided by Scottish Widows) plus we also offer an Auto-enrolment pension with NEST. If you have been a member of the NHS Pension Scheme, you may be able to continue your contributions to that scheme during your time at Princess Alice Hospice.

As our Senior Occupational Therapist, you will take a holistic approach to supporting patients’ physical, psychological, social and cognitive needs. Working both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will assess, plan and deliver personalised interventions, promoting a rehabilitative and enablement-focused approach to care.

You will build meaningful relationships with patients, families and carers, using advanced communication skills to support people through challenging and sensitive situations. Working alongside colleagues and external partners, you will help ensure patients are supported to remain in their preferred place of care wherever possible.

This varied and rewarding role offers the chance to combine your clinical expertise with compassionate, person-centred care in a supportive environment that values Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence.

·         Strong communication skills, including the ability to support patients, families and carers in sensitive situations.
