Childrens Occupational Therapist

Could you be part of a dedicated and committed Paediatric Occupational Therapy team providing support to disabled children, young people and their families across Nottinghamshire?

Our Occupational Therapy service is part of the Integrated Children’s Disability Service (ICDS) and is looking for motivated, enthusiastic Occupational Therapists who can work collaboratively with colleagues and key workers to help children and young people remain safe and realise their potential to develop skills and independence.

The team specifically works to support disabled children, young people, and their families by completing assessments of need and recommending equipment and adaptations to support them in the home. Interventions include specialist seating, moving and handling, specialist equipment and major adaptations including Disabled Facilities Grants.
