Requirements
- Degree or Diploma in Occupational Therapy.
- Current HCPC registration.
- Significant post-qualification experience within Adult Social Care or Community Occupational Therapy.
- Experience providing clinical leadership or senior-level support within an Occupational Therapy service.
- Excellent triage, prioritisation, and clinical decision-making skills.
