Specialist Occupational Therapist

Within this new service, your initial focus will be to offer OT assessment and interventions to individuals with short term, recovery-focused needs including:

• Significant health episode with rapid decline in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
• Sudden unexpected deterioration at end of life, requiring support to remain in preferred place of care.
• Recent acute event or hospital discharge with ongoing clinical risk, not on a Home First pathway.

The post holder will be involved in the decision making and flow of Occupational Therapy referrals within your locality by supporting clinical triage when needed, and using your clinical expertise, relationships and knowledge to ensure a timely OT response to reduce the risk and maintain a person at home.

Our philosophy is that supported self-management is key to personalised and positive outcomes for people.
