Senior Occupational Therapist

2 months ago


Carlisle, Cumbria, United Kingdom Westmorland and Furness Council Full time

Following an exciting and ambitious programme of change within Adult Social Care we are currently in the implementation phase of our new service and are looking for an experienced Occupational Therapy professional, who is passionate about their vocation and would like to join our team to help us achieve our ambitions for the future.

We recognise that our workforce is best placed to design and embed new ways of working to achieve a modern social care service able to deliver the best outcomes within a financially sustainable envelope. We have invested in our service and are looking to recruit to a range of Occupational Therapist's posts:

  • To work in a team to undertake strengths-based assessments and deliver appropriate person-centred support and outcomes for people throughout Westmorland and Furness with care and support needs.
  • To work in ways that promote independence, recognise potential for change, and through excellent practice, enable people to maximise their strengths.
  • To actively promote the work of Westmorland and Furness Council internally and externally, on the development and delivery of continuously improving modern and competitive services.

    About the Role

    As a Senior Occupational Therapist, you will have the opportunity to manage a wide range of cases within the local community, develop your clinical and mentoring roles, and be central to the development of this new and exciting service.

    The successful applicant will play a key role in developing and supporting the long term, complex cases managed by the Occupational Therapy service as well as working on triage to evaluate new referrals and support the onward referral of the case work. You will support social care workers and newly qualified occupational therapists to develop their clinical skills. You will work alongside our partner agencies to ensure customers with high level needs receive the service they need at the point where they need it. You will also work within the local community to deliver person centred, strength based, holistic assessments initially in the Furness area.

    You will support management and other colleagues in the growth and development of this exciting new service, always ensuring that we remain a customer focused, compassionate and positive service.

    You will be part of a hard-working, professional, friendly, and supportive team, undertaking assessments and delivering person centred support and outcomes for people throughout Westmorland and Furness.

    About our Service

    A primary role of this team is to work across the system to enhance prevention interventions and work to prevent or delay admission into formal support services.

    This service will work collaboratively with a range of stakeholders from across the health and social care system and third sector and voluntary groups in Westmorland and Furness to ensure short term interventions (including assessment) are undertaken to ensure people are safe and supported using a strengths-based approach.

    The team will support the admission avoidance and the discharge or people from acute and community hospitals in a safe and timely way reducing the risk of delayed transfers of care.

    Our vision for Adult Social Care is a place where people want to come and work, a workforce who feel supported, empowered, and valued for the great work they do; and to develop ways of working that promote greater independence, ensure best value for money whilst putting our customers at the heart of everything we do.

    For further information, please contact: Sara Roberts, Occupational Therapist Team Manager on or Matthew Beaumont, Principal Occupational Therapist on
