Stroke Occupational Therapist
Join Our Friendly and Innovative Community Stroke Team
Make a real difference to the lives of stroke survivors. This exciting role offers the opportunity to deliver specialist rehabilitation in patients’ homes and local communities, helping people regain independence, rebuild confidence, and achieve what matters most to them.
About the Role
Working as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team, you will assess, treat, and empower individuals following stroke, using your clinical skills and creativity to support recovery and participation in everyday life. You will manage a varied caseload, work autonomously, and contribute to service development, quality improvement, and the supervision of students and support staff.
Key Responsibilities

- Provide expert advice, guidance, and information to health and social care professionals, carers, relatives, and other non-professionals.
- Work as a member of the Hertfordshire Neurological Service team, which specialises in the treatment and management of patients with stroke and other neurological conditions.
- Be responsible for clinical supervision, education, and assessment of a band five or rehabilitation assistant.
- Supervise, educate, and assess the performance of occupational therapy students; this would be to a graduate standard and involve working with universities to ensure the standard practice and teaching meets the standards set by the degree level qualification.
- Participate in a seven-day working rota.
- Provide occasional support to the inpatient team, covering four stroke beds, providing assessment and treatment to those patients.
