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.

Occupational Therapists are highly values and integral members of our START (short term assessment and reablement) service which supports people being discharged from hospital and those already at home. 

START OTs use their specialist within START 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.

We are recruiting to this permanent , 22.5 hours post which predominantly covers Newark & Sherwood District, but some work within Bassetlaw will be required. 

The base is at Sherwood Energy Village Ollerton with remote working using suitable Touchdown/wireless technology and sub-offices.

Applications are invited from both experienced and newly qualified OTs with the required knowledge, skills and experience. 

Candidates must be prepared to work over some weekends and Bank Holidays as agreed.

For further information please feel free to contact Denise Anderson-Moll Team Manager on 0115 8041542/07534223424.

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