Occupational Therapist

As a Children's OT, you will play a vital role in helping children and young people with disabilities to be safer, more independent, and more fully included in family, school, and community life.

Through specialist assessment, equipment provision and environmental adaptations, you will help remove barriers, create practical solutions, and make a lasting difference to the lives of children and their families. Through specialist OT assessments, you will identify barriers to participation, independence and family wellbeing, recommending interventions that support children to achieve the best possible outcomes.

This role offers a unique opportunity to build expertise within children's social care OT while making a meaningful impact on the lives of children and families across Surrey.

Identifying barriers to participation, independence and family wellbeing
