Excellent clinical reasoning, report writing, and communication skills are essential, together with the ability to build positive working relationships with service users and multidisciplinary colleagues.
Requirements
- Degree or Diploma in Occupational Therapy.
- Current HCPC registration.
- Significant Adult Social Care Occupational Therapy experience.
- Extensive experience completing complex moving and handling assessments.
- Experience assessing for and recommending major housing adaptations.
- Strong knowledge of equipment provision and risk assessment.
- Excellent assessment, report-writing, and clinical reasoning skills.
- Ability to work independently and manage cases remotely.
- Ability to undertake home visits across the borough.
Contract & Salary
- Role: Occupational Therapist (Part Time)
- Sector: South West London Social Services
- Contract Type: Locum
- Contract Length: Ongoing
- Working Pattern: Part-time, minimum of three weekdays per week
- Working Arrangement: Predominantly remote with home visits across the borough
