An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and motivated Occupational Therapist to lead within the Coventry Integrated Neighbourhood Teams.
As Occupational Therapy Lead, you will work within the community pathways, supporting the team to deliver specialised occupational therapy to individuals with a wide range of complex needs. The role involves supporting people predominantly in their place of residence, with a focus on reducing unnecessary hospital admissions and enabling safe, effective community-based care.
We are currently in the process of transforming community services in Coventry aligning with the NHS national priorities of shifting care from hospitals to communities and the implementation of Integrated Neighbourhood Teams. Delivering holistic support for complex needs, preventing admissions through early intervention, and using digital tools to improve health outcomes and tackle inequalities. This involves multi-disciplinary teams working together locally to embed joined-up care, reducing hospital demand, and empowering communities for better prevention and access.
If you're passionate about driving change, improving outcomes, and leading in a forward-thinking environment, we would love to hear from you.
