Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Band 6 Occupational Therapist with proven knowledge, skills and experience in rapid response, intermediate care, rehabilitation, and admission avoidance.
We are looking for an experienced and well-organised individual with a passion for promoting independence and providing therapy intervention in a person's own home, utilising a home-first approach.
We are excited to welcome you to join our friendly team, where you will have the opportunity to work flexibly across the tier of services, which includes:
• Bury Rapid Community Response Service
• Killelea House (Enhanced and residential IMC)
• Home-based Intermediate Care and Reablement
You will be part of a large multidisciplinary team that includes Advanced Practitioners, Nurses, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Social Workers, Care Support Workers, and Administrators.
The Service operates a 7-day service, currently covering the hours of 8 am to 8 pm, including weekends; therefore, the ability to work shifts to cover these hours is a requirement of the role.
The Intermediate Tier prides itself on providing strengths-based assessments and interventions to the people of Bury, helping them regain or attain as much independence as possible in their homes.
Our patients are at the heart of everything we do! We are looking for someone committed to being part of a healthcare team that delivers excellent care and support to our patients. To help us achieve this, you will be responsible for your own caseload, performing patient therapy assessments, providing a diagnosis, developing, implementing, and evaluating individualised holistic treatment programmes, and delivering a high standard of evidence-based care.
Within all our Intermediate Tier services, you will work within and have support from a multi-disciplinary team, follow appropriate pathways of care, and liaise with and refer to other agencies as appropriate.
We seek someone hardworking and motivated with excellent clinical, communication, organisational and time management skills. A flexible approach to day-to-day tasks is a must to meet the demands of the service. You will also need to travel across the service footprint, when necessary, in line with service needs, so access to transport is essential.

The size and scale of the NCA means we can provide more challenge and opportunities so your career can always be moving in the right direction. By joining us you can also access a competitive benefits package, including, a fantastic annual leave allowance, flexible working opportunities and protected hours for health and wellbeing activities, helping you to achieve more personal downtime and a better work-life balance.
