About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Senior Occupational Therapist to bring a holistic, recovery-focused perspective to our dynamic multidisciplinary care team (MDT). In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex service user needs and innovative, life-changing care plans.
We offer a supportive environment where you are trusted to work autonomously, advocate for your profession, and mentor junior team members—all while continuously developing your own specialist skill set in a fast-paced, deeply rewarding clinical setting.
Clinical Excellence & Case Management
- Complex Caseload Management: Manage a defined caseload of service users with complex needs using evidence-based, service user-centred, hope and recovery-oriented principles.
- Assessment & Formulation: Conduct comprehensive assessments, analysing and interpreting information to form accurate formulations of function, strengths, capabilities, and occupational needs.
- Collaborative Intervention: Partner with service users, carers, and staff to co-create goals and recovery plans that maximise occupational engagement and independence while balancing risk.
- Outcome Evaluation: Continuously monitor, evaluate, and adapt therapeutic interventions to measure progress and ensure the best possible service user outcomes and experience.

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.
Leadership, Quality & Supervision
- Clinical Leadership: Demonstrate leadership skills through the management of dedicated projects and approved Quality Improvement (QI) initiatives.
- Staff Development: Provide high-quality supervision and mentorship to designated junior staff and students.
