We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Senior Occupational Therapist to join our Integrated Network Teams (INT) in Weston and Worle.
If you are passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred community therapy, improving quality of life, preventing unnecessary hospital admissions, and supporting rehabilitation in the home, we would love to hear from you.
Our Integrated Network Teams are innovative, forward-thinking services providing rehabilitation and support directly in people’s homes and communities. You’ll play a key role in maximising independence, supporting safe hospital discharge, preventing admission, and enabling long-term self-management so people can live well in their own homes.
In return, we are fully committed to your development. You will have the opportunity to build advanced community-based clinical skills, strengthen your multidisciplinary working, and develop your leadership, supervision, and service development capabilities.
You will be part of a friendly, supportive and dynamic multidisciplinary team, working alongside Physiotherapists, Nurses, Community Specialist Practitioners, Support Workers and Administrators.
We offer a flexible, responsive service operating 7 days a week with extended hours, supporting a healthy work-life balance while meeting the needs of our community.
We Are Advertising For 2 Positions
- 1 x 6 month fixed term contract to cover maternity leave (30 hours pw)
- 1 x permanent position (30 hours pw)

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.
