About Brainkind
Brainkind is a UK charity that helps people with brain injuries rebuild their lives. We support people whose injuries came from accidents, illness, substance misuse and other causes. Our teams help them relearn lost skills and reach their own goals.
Our staff care about their work and look out for each other. You’ll join a close, supportive team.
The Role
You’ll lead occupational therapy at Fen House, working with adults with acquired brain injury. You may be the only OT on site, with supervision from a senior OT (sometimes remote). You’ll work closely with the wider team, families and outside professionals, using Brainkind’s neurobehavioural approach.
