Join a dynamic, forward-thinking Neuro Rehabilitation outpatient service
Join a dynamic, forward-thinking Neuro Rehabilitation outpatient service where you’ll play a pivotal role in transforming patient outcomes. As a Specialist Occupational Therapist, you will deliver highly skilled, holistic assessments for patients attending clinics, providing targeted interventions, expert advice, and seamless coordination of care pathways internally and externally.
Working as an integral member of a collaborative Interdisciplinary Team (MDT), you will partner closely with Consultants in Rehabilitation Medicine, Physiotherapists, Nurses, Psychologists, Counsellors and Speech Therapists - contributing in clinic settings and as an autonomous practitioner. You will have the opportunity to shape and evolve Occupational Therapy provision within specialist clinics—developing innovative interventions, evaluating impact against national standards, and driving continuous service improvement.
Beyond clinical excellence, you’ll contribute to wider service development—supporting research, leading quality improvement initiatives, and working with leadership teams to review and enhance service delivery. This role offers a unique blend of clinical expertise, innovation, and leadership influence within a supportive and progressive therapy environment.
If you are passionate about neuro rehabilitation, thrive in multidisciplinary settings, and are motivated to drive service innovation, this is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact
