Senior Occupational Therapist

As a Senior Occupational Therapist, you will manage a varied and complex caseload, delivering specialist assessments and interventions that promote independence, reablement and hospital avoidance.

Working closely with patients, families, carers and partner agencies, you will develop personalised solutions that help individuals stay safe and well within their own homes and communities.

You will play a key role within the Collaborative Care Team, contributing your specialist occupational therapy expertise to multidisciplinary decision-making and coordinated care planning. Alongside direct clinical work, you will provide advice and support to colleagues, help develop less experienced staff and students, and contribute to service improvements that enhance outcomes for local people.

Interview dates are Tuesday 10th November (Stage 1) and Friday 13th November (Stage 2).
