We are seeking a Band 6 Therapist to be part of our supportive and friendly multi‑disciplinary team covering Southwark & Lambeth. This is a full time, fixed‑term contract to cover a 6‑month maternity leave, but flexible & remote working arrangements will be considered.

This position provides an excellent opportunity to develop your advanced clinical reasoning skills, risk assessment and communication skills. You will be participating in a new operational model for the service, utilising your specialist skills to identify appropriate pathways and support MDT prioritisation of patients. You will also have the opportunity to support the team to clinically manage appropriate cases within your professional field.

You will work closely with MDT and admin colleagues as well as being able to remain part of your wider professional group. You will have access to regular supervision from our Clinical Specialist OT or Clinical Specialist SLT including opportunities to attend appropriate training.
