If you’re a qualified Occupational Therapist with HCPC registration we’d love to hear from you!
In this rewarding role, you’ll carry out home visits to deliver holistic assessments, develop tailored intervention plans, and review progress.

If you’re passionate about empowering individuals and making a real difference, this is the perfect opportunity to join a friendly, forward-thinking team.
What you’ll do
- Take the lead on assessing, planning, and reviewing complex cases, ensuring high-quality outcomes.
- Deliver person-centred functional assessments and interventions that empower individuals to maintain or regain independence in daily life.
- Collaborate closely with a diverse team of professionals, including Occupational Therapists, practitioners, carers, sensory specialists, and business support staff.
- Work autonomously, providing expert guidance and support to colleagues, underpinned by social care legislation and clinical best practice.
- Contribute to a service that operates seven days a week, with weekend working required on a rotational basis (approximately 1 in 8 weekends) and some bank holidays.
