We are looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist to work within the Angus community in our Adults with Learning Disabilities Team.

The successful applicant can expect to be fully supported by senior staff through our established system of personal and practice development. We also have a strong commitment to supporting the Occupational Therapy team as well as supporting change and improvement initiatives within the wider learning disability team. Innovative practice, clinical governance, CPD and evidence-based practice are all actively encouraged.
