Nottinghamshire County Council recognises the essential contribution which Occupational Therapists make towards preventing and reducing the ongoing support needs of people referred for personal care.

OTs are integral members of the START (short term assessment and reablement) service, which also support hospital discharges and reduce the risk of hospital and care home addmissions.

START OTs utilise their specialist skills to:-

  • Assess individuals’ functional abilities, needs and potential for independence.
  • Design and implement reablement programmes that are person centred, have clear goals and are tailored to
  • the individual’s needs.
  • Demonstrate appropriate rehabilitative techniques to service users, carers and staff in order to maximise
  • independence.
  • Contribute towards the training of Reablement Support Workers.

This post covers the Newark & Sherwood District. The base is at Sherwood Energy Village Ollerton with remote working using suitable Touchdown/wireless technology and sub-offices.

The START service has recently been aligned with a number of other Short term Independence Services so staff will be expected to work flexibly within this overall structure when required.

The post is graded at Hay Bands A and B depending on experience you must be able to work some weekends and bank holidays.

Appointment to this post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check.
