Based with Hammersmith and Fulham Council, this role will provide essential support to the Occupational Therapy Service, helping to manage a backlog of referrals and ensuring timely interventions for adults requiring Occupational Therapy support.

- Provide information and guidance to service users regarding available services and support where appropriate.
- 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.
Requirements
- Previous experience working as an Occupational Therapy Assistant or in a similar Adult Social Care role.
- Experience supporting an Occupational Therapy duty service or triaging referrals is essential.
- Ability to prioritise a high volume of referrals effectively.
- Experience undertaking community visits is desirable.
- Strong organisational, communication, and record-keeping skills.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
- Commitment to delivering person-centred, strengths-based support.
- Knowledge of Adult Social Care processes and Occupational Therapy services is desirable.
