What this job actually involves
As an Occupational Therapist, you'll work with elderly or disabled people to help them do everyday activities, like dressing or cooking. You'll assess their needs, create plans, and work with care teams to make sure they get the support they need. This job suits people who enjoy working with others, are patient, and have good communication skills. It's a rewarding role that can make a big difference in people's lives.
What you'll need
- You'll need a degree in Occupational Therapy, and a HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) registration to practice in the UK.
- You should have experience working with elderly or disabled people, and be familiar with occupational therapy techniques and equipment.
- You'll need to be able to work independently, but also as part of a team.
- You should have good communication and organisational skills, and be able to write clear reports.

- Make sure you check the HCPC website to ensure you meet the registration requirements.
- Practice your communication skills by talking to people from different backgrounds and with different needs.
