The Role:

If you're a qualified Occupational Therapist with HCPC registration we'd love to hear from you!

In this rewarding role, you'll carry out home visits to deliver holistic assessments, develop tailored intervention plans, and review progress. You'll work collaboratively within our multi-disciplinary Reablement Service - a strengths-based, short-term service designed to help people maintain or regain independence in their daily lives.

If you're passionate about empowering individuals and making a real difference, this is the perfect opportunity to join a friendly, forward-thinking team.

What you'll do:

• Take the lead on assessing, planning, and reviewing complex cases, ensuring high-quality outcomes.
• Deliver person-centred functional assessments and interventions that empower individuals to maintain or regain independence in daily life.
• Collaborate closely with a diverse team of professionals, including Occupational Therapists, practitioners, carers, sensory specialists, and business support staff.
• Work autonomously, providing expert guidance and support to colleagues, underpinned by social care legislation and clinical best practice.
• Contribute to a service that operates seven days a week, with weekend working required on a rotational basis (approximately 1 in 8 weekends) and some bank holidays.

What we're looking for:

• Occupational Therapy qualification and professional registration with HCPC.
• Understanding of the statutory duties of local government in social care and the social care model.
• Some experience of supervising staff.
• Experience in assessment, planning and reviewing of case work.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively, escalating cases as required.
• Commitment to demonstrating our values and behaviours.

Why join us?

• Make a Difference: Work in collaborative partnership with organisations across Health and Social care to maximise independence, prevent hospital admissions, and facilitate rapid discharge from hospital to improve outcomes for the people of Hampshire.
• Career Growth: Opportunities for experienced and newly qualified Occupational Therapists. If you are newly qualified, we are also able to offer a preceptorship programme.
• Professional Development: Supportive supervision and continuous learning opportunities, including formal qualification routes.
• Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a fulfilling career with a good balance between work and home life alongside paid enhancements for weekend and bank holiday work.
• Employee Support: Access to Health Assured's comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme to support your physical and mental wellbeing, including 24/7 telephone support, a suite of online resources, and legal and financial advice.
• Competitive Benefits Package: Including generous annual leave entitlement, occupational sick pay, and access to the Local Government Pension Scheme.
