Are you ready to lead a team that transforms lives? At Blackheath Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre, we're looking for a passionate and innovative Lead Occupational Therapist to join us in delivering outstanding care and helping individuals rebuild their lives after life-changing injuries.
About Us
Blackheath is more than a rehabilitation centre it's a place where journeys of recovery are written every day. Our team specialises in providing tailored, patient-centred care to individuals with acquired brain injury and complex neurological conditions.
Be Inspired by Rob's Story
Rob came to Blackheath following a devastating brain injury that left him unable to walk or speak. Through dedication, therapy, and sheer resilience, he began his remarkable recovery. With the support of our expert therapists, Rob progressed from wheelchair-bound to walking with assistance, regaining his confidence and independence along the way. Today, Rob's story is a testament to the transformative power of rehabilitation and the essential role of our Occupational Therapy team.
