Wrexham’s Occupational Therapy Team is driven by one clear purpose: Making a Difference. We work alongside the people of Wrexham using a strengths‑based approach that empowers individuals to have voice and control, and to live as independently as possible.
We are now looking for a highly motivated and experienced Housing Occupational Therapist to join our team. As an Experienced Housing Occupational Therapist within Social Care you will:
* Lead the delivery of specialist, person‑centred assessments that enable residents to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own homes.
* You will provide advanced clinical reasoning in complex housing‑related cases, including the completion of detailed housing assessments and the assessment of vacant properties to determine suitability for disabled residents or applicants.
* You will work collaboratively with housing officers, surveyors, social care teams, and external partners to design and implement effective adaptations, support decisions relating to Disabled Facilities Grants, and contribute to complex rehousing assessments.
* Act as a role model within the All‑Age Occupational Therapy team, offering mentorship and sharing your specialist knowledge with less experienced colleagues
* Work within a supportive structure led by HCPC‑registered OT managers who value the profession, champion high‑quality practice and provide responsive professional supervision.
Our team is innovative, ambitious, and committed to continuous improvement. We encourage professional development and offer opportunities to gain experience across a range of areas within our centralised OT service.
You will also benefit from:
* Access to a wide range of training through our Workforce Development Team
* Agile working arrangements, including up to two days per week working from home
* A modern, welcoming base at the Wellbeing Hub in Wrexham town centre
* A strong culture of peer support, supervision, and open communication
* Higher starting salary for the right candidate
An Enhanced DBS check and HCPC registration are required for this role.
The Council welcomes applications from suitably qualified candidates regardless of race, gender, disability, sexuality, religious belief or age.
The Council is committed to developing its bilingual workforce and welcomes applications from candidates who demonstrate their capability to work in both English and Welsh. Applications submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application submitted in English.
