  • Lead service development in occupational therapy
  • Deliver occupational therapy interventions in an inpatient setting
  • Manage a complex caseload and demonstrate expertise in complex discharge
  • Implement D2RA, Home First, and the Cardiff and Vale Occupational Therapy Strategy and Operational Plan
  • Develop and maintain effective relationships with multidisciplinary teams
