Working as part of a multidisciplinary team under the guidance of the Lead Occupational Therapist, you will provide strengths-based, person-centred Occupational Therapy interventions at the earliest point of contact. The role focuses on delivering timely screening, triage, and functional assessments that maximise independence, reduce reliance on long-term care, and prevent unnecessary progression onto waiting lists.

- Contribute to service development, evaluation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Support the implementation of best practice and share learning across the service.
- Assist with the development of innovative approaches within a pilot and transformation environment.
About You
You will be an experienced Occupational Therapist with a strong background in reablement, adult social care, hospital discharge, or community-based services. You will be confident undertaking triage, functional assessments, and delivering early intervention strategies that promote independence and prevent escalation of care needs.
You will thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy collaborative working, and be passionate about supporting service transformation and continuous improvement.
