Senior Occupational Therapist - Paediatrics

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Occupational Therapist to join our dedicated Paediatric Team. This part-time role offers the chance to work within a dynamic general paediatric ward supporting children and young people aged 0–19 years with a wide range of conditions, including orthopaedic, surgical, medical, neurological, respiratory and developmental needs.

As a Senior Paediatric Occupational Therapist, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality, child-centred care. You will work with a varied caseload and contribute to assessments, treatment planning and therapeutic interventions that support children to reach their full potential.

You will work closely with Physiotherapists, often completing joint assessments and sessions. While collaborating as part of a multidisciplinary approach, you will bring a distinct OT perspective—focusing on functional independence, ADL advice and tailored occupational therapy interventions.

This part-time Senior Occupational Therapist role offers a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children and young people, while working within a supportive and collaborative multidisciplinary team.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
