Occupational Therapist

Community Occupational Therapist
£35.00 per hour | Cheshire East

Overview

I am currently recruiting for a Community Occupational Therapist to work with my client across the East of Cheshire, covering Macclesfield, Wilmslow, Disley, High Legh and Knutsford.

You will be managing a varied community caseload across both adults' and children's services, supporting individuals to maximise their independence through high-quality occupational therapy interventions. This is a hands-on role involving regular community visits and office attendance for team meetings, so you'll need to enjoy working collaboratively while managing your own workload.

Your responsibilities will include completing moving and handling assessments, Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) assessments, Blue Badge assessments, and recommending appropriate equipment and adaptations. You'll work closely with colleagues and partner agencies to deliver person-centred support across the community.

Flexibility around working arrangements is available, however regular community visits and attendance at team meetings are an essential part of the role.

Requirements

• At least 1 year's postgraduate experience
• HCPC registered
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Occupational Therapy recognised by relevant professional bodies
• Experience working with both adults and children
• Experience completing Moving and Handling, Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) and Blue Badge assessments
• Up-to-date Moving and Handling training
• Strong team-working skills
• Clear Enhanced DBS with Children's and Adults' Barred Lists (we can put this in process for you)

What's on offer

• £35.00 per hour
• Full-time
• Flexible working arrangements
• Varied community caseload across adults' and children's services
• Supportive team environment

Interested?
