Through service redesign we have ensured all staff have the benefit of Advanced
Practitioners, Consultants, and a Lead Occupational Therapist to support excellent
standards of practice across both the Reablement Service and the wider directorate.
This is encompassed by the four pillars of professional practice, facilitation of
learning, leadership and education, research and development. (RCOT 2021).
As an Occupational Therapist you'll provide person-centred functional analysis and
interventions, through the enactment of social care legislation and local government
requirements. This is informed by occupational therapy clinical knowledge, skills and
values. There is a particular responsibility to work as an independent practitioner and
provide support and expertise to staff.
