National Star is a growing charity with over 1,200 staff across England and Wales. For more than 50 years, we've helped young people with disabilities live rich, independent lives and now, we're looking for an exceptional Occupational Therapy Assessor to bolster our impact.
About the role
We're excited to recruit a Senior Therapist Assessor (Occupational Therapy) to support prospective learners. In this specialist role, you’ll conduct pre-entry functional and subjective assessments to build a comprehensive understanding of each learner’s rehabilitation and equipment needs. You won’t be managing a traditional caseload, but your clinician expertise will directly shape person-centred therapy recommendations—from referral to equipment strategy.
You will work closely with our Assessments Team and partner across therapies—including Occupational Therapy, Speech & Language Therapy, and Physiotherapy—to ensure every learner’s recommendations are aligned and purposeful. You'll be based at Ullenwood, with travel to other college sites in Worcester, Mamhilad, and Hereford as required.
