Are you a newly qualified OT looking for a role that stretches your skills, builds your confidence, and sets you on a path toward specialist case management? At Social Return, we don't just offer jobs, we offer journeys.
This is a rare opportunity to join a values-led, emotionally intelligent team supporting clients with acquired brain injuries and complex neurological presentations. You'll be supported to grow into an extended scope of practice, blending clinical insight with strategic coordination, rehabilitation planning, and multi-agency collaboration.
What You'll Gain:
* Extended Scope of Practice: Move beyond traditional OT boundaries—develop skills in holistic assessment, medico-legal navigation, and long-term rehabilitation strategy.
* Structured Development Pathway: Work alongside experienced case managers and clinical leads to build your expertise in brain injury and complex case management.
* Varied Caseload: Support clients with ABI, spinal injuries, cerebral palsy, and complex physical and cognitive needs—no two days are the same.
* Mentorship & Supervision: Benefit from regular reflective practice, peer support, and our Case Management Learning Programme.
* Hybrid Flexibility: Work from home, in the community, or from our Durham office—tailored to your diary and development needs.
* Why This Role Is Perfect for You:
* You're newly qualified and looking for a role that builds on your OT training while expanding your clinical and strategic thinking.
* You're curious, compassionate, and ready to learn—eager to make a real impact in people's lives.
* You want to be part of a team that values emotional intelligence, autonomy, and collaborative growth.
* You're excited by the idea of shaping your own rhythm, refining your voice, and contributing meaningfully to a team redefining rehabilitation.
What We Offer:
* Company pension
* Paid mileage and essential tech (Chromebook, mobile, IT support)
* Comprehensive induction and CPD
* BABICM membership and networking opportunities
* Dedicated admin support so you can focus on what matters most—your clients
Requirements:
* HCPC registration (OT)
* Full UK driving licence with business insurance
* Willingness to travel across the North East
* Based locally, with flexibility to work from home or office
This role is more than a first step, it's a launchpad. Whether your long-term goal is to become a specialist case manager, clinical lead, or designer of innovative rehab pathways, we'll support you every step of the way.
