The Occupational Therapy Service is committed to the provision of high quality, evidence-based care, and strongly values professional development and clinical supervision. In October 2019, a new purpose-built Trauma and Orthopaedics ward, 5West, opened at The Alfred.

The successful applicant will lead the occupational therapy clinicians within the team and engage with key stakeholders to build teamwork and a culture of collaboration.
