**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

This is an excellent opportunity to advance your career in both clinical leadership and advanced clinical practice. In this role, you will provide an advanced level of Occupational Therapy expertise in both direct AED/CDU care delivery and support to other staff with patients across the wider hospital context. You will promote high-quality, advanced Occupational Therapy practice, effective patient management and interdisciplinary models of assessment and intervention within the area of AED/CDU. Coordinating your caseload to ensure appropriate assessment and intervention from an occupational and functional performance perspective is provided across AED/CDU, taking a goal-focused and longer-term view of patient outcomes for successful community living. You will be instrumental in ensuring appropriate care plans are handed over to the multidisciplinary team.

The main roles and responsibilities will be:

- Focus on leading service improvement - developing pathways that support the early identification of patients who would benefit from Allied Health intervention, in particular, to prevent hospital admission/readmission, and support early discharge which will improve patient care, and outcomes and support hospital flow.
- Alongside a working group and key stakeholders, identify, collect and analyse data to allow the exploration of further required development for Allied Health and patient care within AED/CDU.
