About the Role
Join Leicestershire County Council in delivering essential Occupational Therapy (OT) services that empower adults and children to live safely and independently.

- Provide expert clinical oversight to a dynamic caseload, prioritising high-risk or complex situations.
- Support multi-disciplinary teams (health, housing, social care) by offering clinical guidance, risk-aware decision-making, and best-practice advice.
- Identify safeguarding concerns and mental capacity issues, ensuring appropriate action is taken.
- Work collaboratively to drive person-centred outcomes and streamline referrals to specialist teams for long-term care when required.
