York, United Kingdom City of York Council Full time

Are you looking for an exciting and innovative challenge? Could you bring your experience and passion for Occupational Therapy to York? If so, we want to hear from you

Occupational Therapy is a vital function of York Adult Social Care. We support adults, families and informal carers who live in the city to live an enjoyable life as independently as possible. You will become an integral part of a friendly and helpful team, supporting people to achieve good outcomes through a person-centred, strength-based approach. This is an excellent opportunity for someone to be a part of a fantastic team.

Who are we looking for?

We would love to hear from you if you have excellent communication and problem-solving skills, can build trusting relationships with people, colleagues and partners and can work as part of a hard-working team of dedicated staff.

The post will include working with professionals from health, housing, social care, and other professional networks too.

This post is suitable as a job share opportunity.

Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.

As this role is public facing, applicants will need to demonstrate, at interview, their competency to converse and provide advice and guidance to members of the public, in spoken English to CEFR level C2: Can express him/herself spontaneously at length with a natural conversational flow, avoiding or backtracking around any difficulty so smoothly that the person with whom they are conversing is hardly aware of it.

The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.
