We are seeking two Occupational Therapists to join our Access and Information Team within Adult Social Care. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference at the frontline of service delivery, supporting residents across Brent’s richly diverse communities to live independently and improve their quality of life.
You will be part of a collaborative, people-centred team of professionals who are passionate about innovation, continuous learning and delivering high-quality, person-focused support.
As part of Brent’s Access and Information Team, you will play a key role in supporting residents to navigate services and achieve independence. You will:
- Undertake holistic assessments of residents’ needs to support independence, safety and wellbeing
- Recommend and arrange suitable equipment, adaptations or reablement interventions
- Provide advice and support to residents, carers and professionals, ensuring timely and accurate guidance
- Work closely with Social Workers, Care Assessors, OT Assistants and other health and social care colleagues
- Contribute to service improvement, innovation and person-centred practice within the team
- Promote independence and prevent unnecessary hospital admissions through early intervention and collaborative problem-solving
We’re looking for someone with:
- A recognised Degree or Diploma in Occupational Therapy and current registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)
- Experience in Adult Social Care with a focus on assessment, equipment provision and enablement
- A strong understanding of community-based occupational therapy and reablement approaches
- The ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills with residents, carers and professionals
- A genuine passion for empowering people to live safely and independently within their community
Experience in managing community equipment and delivering creative, person-centred solutions will be highly valued.
Why join us?
We know people achieve their best when they feel valued. At Brent, you’ll benefit from:
- Up to 33 days annual leave (depending on length of service) plus bank holidays
- Excellent pension with generous employer contributions (LGPS)
- Hybrid and flexible working options available for most roles
Supportive family-friendly policies for parents, guardians and carers
- Health and wellbeing support including access to eye test support and a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
- Financial support including education sessions, childcare deposit loans and season ticket loans
- Travel perks such as Zipcar access, affordable parking nearby, a Cycle to Work scheme and great onsite facilities
- Learning and development opportunities to help grow your career
- Access to My Brent Rewards with exclusive discounts on shopping, travel, leisure and entertainment
