About the role

Join our team within Manx Care as a Band 5 or Band 6 Occupational Therapist and make a meaningful impact on the community of the Isle of Man.

These rotational roles offer the chance to apply your learning, skills and training in a variety of settings, including orthopaedic inpatients and outpatients, medical clinics, and self-referral services.

As a Band 5 Occupational Therapist, this development role (Annex T) provides an excellent opportunity to build a strong foundation in core areas of Occupational Therapy. You'll benefit from comprehensive support and guidance from senior clinicians as you grow your expertise, progressing toward autonomous practice. Your responsibilities will include evidence-based assessment, treatment, follow-up, evaluation, and consultancy services, ensuring the highest standard of care for service users.

For experienced professionals, Band 6 positions are diverse roles where you will manage a specialised caseload of patients providing fantastic opportunities to gain a wide range of experience and expand your skill set.

Our integrated health and social care service spans the beautiful Isle of Man, where you'll work collaboratively within a supportive, innovative, and forward-thinking multi-disciplinary team dedicated to delivering outstanding healthcare to our community.

A workplace that invests in you

  • Enjoy higher salaries compared to the UK, along with annual salary increases that extend beyond typical UK NHS pay scales.
  • Be promoted to Band 6 within 2 years. The Band 5 Annex T posts are development posts where you will undergo a period of preceptorship with the aim of gaining the competencies required to fulfil a Band X position.

  • A generous annual leave entitlement starting at 27 days and 10 Public Holidays.
  • Subject to meeting eligibility criteria, the IOM Public Service offers two pension arrangements; the Isle of Man Government Unified Scheme 2011 or the Isle of Man Government Defined Contribution (DC) Arrangement.
  • You may be eligible for a Blue Light Card, unlocking a wide range of exclusive discounts on shopping, food and leisure activities at hundreds of popular high street and online retailers.
  • Step away from NHS pressures and demands! The Island’s healthcare system is similar but separate to the UK NHS.
  • Access to the staff canteen at Noble’s Hospital where you can purchase affordable food and drinks in your breaks.
  • Free on-site car parking.
  • Our on-site education and training centre, Keyll Darree, comprises a lecture theatre, well stocked medical library, training facilities and a state-of-the-art simulation lab which is operated by trained simulation practitioners.
  • Ability to apply for an unpaid career break after 3 years’ service.
  • Access to the Isle of Man Public Service Cycle to Work scheme after your first year of employment.
  • Access to the Learning, Education and Development training facility, which is exclusively for Public Service employees, to keep on top of your continuous professional development.
  • Free access to the Isle of Man Government Staff Welfare Service which offers professional counselling, emotional support and signposting on a wide range of issues.
  • Accommodation is available for the first 6 months in your role at a reduced rate for non-Island residents.
  • A relocation package of up to £7,000 based on receipts is available for this role. Housing Assistance is also available where the Department will pay the difference between your current mortgage/rent bill, and that of your new accommodation on the Isle of Man, up to a maximum of £250 per month.
