We have clear objectives linked to the latest national policies and are dedicated to delivering the highest quality care through evidence-based care pathways. We are co-located with our social work colleagues and work closely in partnership with them, as well as with families, paid carers and the wider systems that support people.

You will provide specialist occupational therapy assessments and interventions for people referred to the service as well as contributing to the core tasks of the team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You will have the flexibility to manage your workload in the community; however, you will be expected to spend some time working from the central team base in Uckfield.
You will be supervised by the Advanced Practitioner Occupational Therapist.
