This will involve working in the South Kerrier geographical area, visiting patients in their own homes including care homes and working on promoting independence and achieving their personalised goals.

Main duties of the job We are looking for a colleague who has experience of working in an community and/or inpatient rehabilitation setting and wishes to develop or showcase their assessment, care planning and rehabilitation skills whilst being part of a dynamic, progressive multidisciplinary team.

You will need to have excellent organisational skills combined with experience of working in older person's services. You will need a UK driving licence and the ability to travel to different locations within South Kerrier and occasionally within the wider West area.

We are a supportive team of multi-disciplinary staff with opportunities for regular Band 6 Occupational Therapist peer supervision meetings and regular individual supervision. We offer a friendly , supportive working environment where you can develop your clinical and interpersonal skills. CPD is actively encouraged and supported through regular supervision/appraisal and staff training. About us We're an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people's physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
