About the role
Could you help people regain independence and improve their quality of life during their recovery journey?
As Occupational Therapist Clinical Specialist, you’ll lead a friendly and supportive medical team within the Therapies and Podiatry Department at Noble’s Hospital on the beautiful Isle of Man!
You’ll deliver evidence-based assessments, treatment, follow-ups, evaluations, and consultancy services to our service users, helping patients achieve the best possible outcomes through person‑centred care. Using your expertise, you’ll manage a varied caseload assessing needs, developing tailored treatment plans and providing specialist advice and support. Working closely with patients, families and colleagues, you’ll play a key role in promoting independence, wellbeing and safe discharge planning.
This is a rewarding opportunity to work in a collaborative team environment, with access to excellent resources and the time to deliver high‑quality care that puts patients at the heart of every decision.
If you’re looking for a role where you can make a meaningful difference every day, we’d love to hear from you!
“Working as a Band 7 Occupational Therapist within the Acute Medical Therapy Team has been an incredibly rewarding and dynamic experience. From providing hands‑on clinical care to leading our fantastic team of therapists and assistants, every day offers rewarding new opportunities to support patients through acute episodes of care.”
This role offers the perfect balance of advanced clinical practice, service development, and team leadership. For any senior clinician looking to champion rapid discharge planning, mentor staff, and make a tangible impact on acute patient pathways, this position is an incredible opportunity to grow as both a specialist and a leader.
I am deeply grateful to have led a team that never compromised on compassion or clinical excellence. I wish the new Band 7 all the best and look forward to seeing them thrive and take this service to new heights!
– Samantha, Specialist Occupational Therapist in Acute Medical Therapies
