- Support the delivery of person-centred, strengths-based Occupational Therapy services.
- Work flexibly to meet changing service priorities and operational demands.
About You
You will be an experienced Occupational Therapy Assistant with previous experience working within Adult Social Care or a community Occupational Therapy service. You will be highly organised, able to prioritise competing demands, and confident supporting a busy duty function.
You will possess excellent communication and administrative skills, with the ability to work independently while contributing positively to a multidisciplinary team.
