Job summary
Come and join one of the UK's largest independent providers in neuro and mental healthcare. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.
Active Neuro, the newly launched division of Active Care Group, is transforming neurorehabilitation in the UK, and we're now looking for a part-time Specialist Occupational Therapist (Band 6 equivalent) to join our Birmingham team. You'll support adults with acquired or traumatic brain injuries, neurological conditions, and complex needs, helping them rebuild independence, confidence, and quality of life.
We've invested heavily in enhancing the service, including introducing advanced rehabilitation technology such as Luna Robotic EMG, Exo Motus, and Arm Motus. This gives you the tools to deliver creative, integrated therapy focused on what truly matters to each person - whether that's baking, reconnecting with art, gardening, or everyday living tasks.
Main duties of the job
This is a part-time role - 18.75 hours per week - ideal for someone with other commitments who still wants to contribute meaningfully to a specialist neurorehabilitation service. You'll enjoy the flexibility to balance life outside of work while still playing an active role in supporting clients and contributing to service development.
You'll be part of a supportive network across Active Neuro, sharing expertise, accessing mentorship, and benefiting from personalised CPD tailored to your clinical interests - from functional rehabilitation to cognitive and perceptual retraining. You'll also have opportunities to collaborate with organisations like Headway and the Spinal Injuries Association and engage with wider innovations in the neurorehabilitation community.
If you're a motivated, creative Occupational Therapist who wants to make a real and lasting impact, this is a fantastic opportunity to help shape a forward-thinking, person-centred service.
Please note - this advert will close once we have received a sufficient number of applications.
