supportive Occupational Therapy team delivering social care assessments and interventions that promote independence, wellbeing,
and safe living within the community.
In this Social Care Occupational Therapist job in Kirklees, you will assess individuals’ needs under the

will be important for success in this role. Experience working within local authority services or community occupational
therapy teams will be beneficial.
