Job summary

Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to join our Nottingham West Community Therapy Service as an Occupational Therapist working in the community. If you want to be part of a forward thinking and innovative service, then this is the opportunity you may have been looking for.

In your new role you will work closely with Physiotherapists, Assistant practitioners, support staff, district nurses, specialist nurses and social workers to provide the best possible care to service users in their own homes.

You will work autonomously as well as part of the multi-disciplinary team, liaising closely with health and social care colleagues to coordinate services, promote recovery from illness and enable health, wellbeing and self-care. You will be visiting patients within their own homes using a goal-orientated focus, to maximise patient's independence, safety and quality of life.

The post will involve cross site working and community visits.

A full UK driving licence and vehicle for business use is required for this post; however reasonable adjustments will be made for disabled individuals in line with the Equality Act 2010.
