The ELRS service comprises Phyisotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Community Care Workers and Assistant Practitioners across 3 cluster bases.
Community Occupational Therapists play a crucial role in assessment of and planning intervention to support people in reaching their goals. This may include rehabilitation, treatment planning, assessment for small equipment and minor adaptations and when required longer term intervention assessing for major adaptations and equipment. The service has a major adaptations team which supports design and progression of major adaptations to owner occupied properties. The service provides a mix of short term crisis work and longer term complex cases.
The opportunity has arisen for 2 full time and 2 part time Community Occupational Therapists to join our forward thinking, dynamic and team.
