Adult's OT - Cheshire East
We are seeking an experienced and motivated Adult Occupational Therapist to join a supportive community-based service. This is an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful difference to adults with a range of physical, sensory, cognitive and mental health needs, helping them to live safely and independently in their own homes and communities.
You will complete holistic assessments, identify strengths and areas of need, and develop person-centred intervention plans. Your responsibilities will include recommending and arranging appropriate equipment, adaptations and support packages; advising on moving and handling; assessing functional ability; and providing guidance to service users, families, carers and other professionals. You will also contribute to risk management, safeguarding and the prevention of hospital admission wherever possible.
The role involves working collaboratively with colleagues across health, social care and community services. You will maintain accurate, timely records, prepare clear reports and ensure that all recommendations comply with relevant legislation, professional standards and local procedures. You may also support service development, participate in team meetings and contribute to the supervision or development of students and less experienced colleagues.
Applicants should hold a recognised degree or diploma in Occupational Therapy and be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council. You will have experience of assessing adults with complex needs and applying occupational therapy theory to practical situations. Knowledge of relevant legislation, equipment provision, moving and handling, safeguarding and risk assessment is desirable.
We are looking for someone who communicates clearly, works effectively under pressure and can manage a varied caseload independently. You should be organised, solution-focused and committed to promoting choice, dignity, equality and inclusion. A full driving licence and access to a vehicle may be required, as the post involves travel across the local area.
