Reablement - Empowering Independence
Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist with a passion for transforming lives and restoring confidence?
Due to internal promotion and the expansion of our service, we are looking for someone like you to join our Reablement Team.
We believe in making a positive impact on individuals' lives. As a key member of our team, you will help people rebuild their lives after hospitalisation, enhancing their daily activity skills and restoring their confidence. We value compassion, dedication, and the drive to make a difference.
You will manage a diverse and challenging caseload, conduct strengths-based assessments, and apply person-centred principles to promote well-being and positive risk-taking. Collaboration is essential to our success, and you will work closely with healthcare professionals and social workers to achieve the best outcomes, setting goals, creating personalised reablement plans, and providing supervision and support for complex cases.
We are committed to professional growth and excellence. You will act as an expert advisor to team members on bespoke equipment provision, evaluating reasoning, and making decisions to increase independence and reduce risk. Your expertise and guidance will be invaluable in encouraging a supportive and innovative environment.
If you have over three years of post-qualification experience, hold a full UK driver's licence, understand occupational therapy laws, and share our values, we want to hear from you.
Join us in creating success stories of individuals in Wiltshire reclaiming their independence.
