Lead Occupational Therapist

Are you ready to lead, inspire, and shape the future of rehabilitation?

Were looking for an inspiring and forward-thinking Lead Occupational

Therapist to join our therapy team at Blackheath Brain Injury Rehabilitation

Centre, with a key role in supporting the delivery and development of therapy

services at our neighbouring Chislehurst unit.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious OT ready to take the

next step in their career, leading and inspiring a talented team while driving

high standards of clinical practice and outstanding patient outcomes. Youll

balance team leadership, service development and clinical oversight with a

small but rewarding clinical caseload, ensuring you remain connected to the

patients and rehabilitation work at the heart of our service.

Youll have the autonomy to shape how the OT service is delivered,

supported by an established, well-resourced team, and the flexibility to use

your expertise where it makes the most impact. In addition, you will be part of

the therapy leadership team which has responsibility for ensuring strong

clinical governance, staff wellbeing and service development.

Every day is about rebuilding lives and creating success stories. We

specialise in supporting people with acquired brain injury and complex

neurological conditions, providing patient-centred rehabilitation that

transforms futures.

Our standard working hours are 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday.

However, we understand the importance of a positive work-life balance, and

therefore, if you require some flexibility to better suit your personal or

professional needs, we encourage you to discuss this with us, and we

will do our best to accommodate your preferences where possible.

As our Lead OT, you will have the opportunity to:

Lead with impact: Manage, mentor, and inspire our Occupational

Therapy team, ensuring high-quality care delivery.

Clinical leadership: Hold a small caseload with a focus on complex

needs, guiding your team through best practice approaches.

Shape the service: Drive service development, contribute to strategy,

and champion continuous improvement.

Support others: Provide supervision, teaching, and professional

development to staff and students.

Collaborate across disciplines: Work closely with patients,

families, carers, and the wider team to deliver truly holistic rehabilitation

alongside taking on key worker responsibility.

Quality and safety: Lead on clinical governance, audit, and risk

management to keep standards high and people safe.
