Job Summary

We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Band 6 Occupational Therapist to join our team based in Care Direct Plus North, Barnstaple.

About the Role

The Care Direct Plus North Occupational Therapy team covers a large area, including rural communities and towns and villages across North Devon. Our team is closely connected with NHS teams, other social care teams, district councils, housing, and equipment providers.

We are an enthusiastic and supportive team made up of social care assessors and both Band 5 and 6 occupational therapists. The team carries out assessments over the telephone, virtually using other forms of technology, and face-to-face in the person's own home.

Main Duties of the Job

You will be part of a friendly, supportive, and experienced team with regular peer support, supervision, appraisal, team meetings, and a commitment to learning and development, having access to regular CPD sessions. You will have the opportunity to travel around the scenic North Devon to assess and support the people we work with, who have a wide range of disabilities and health conditions across North Devon.

Clinical responsibilities include enabling people to maximise their independence and potential, as well as increasing their safety through reducing and managing risk to themselves and their carers.

You will have the opportunity to carry out reviews of care with a moving and handling and optimising care focus alongside our Moving and Handling Review Specialist Occupational Therapist. This will allow development or maintenance of skills in this area.

You will be required to hold and manage a caseload and provide a person-centred service through clinical assessment within the context of local government policy and legislation.

Your Occupational Therapy intervention will include a strengths-based approach while aiming to promote independence. Interventions could include signposting or advice, provision of equipment, minor adaptations, recommendations for major adaptations, support with rehousing, recommendation for packages of care, or referral onto other teams.

  • Recognition of NHS continuous service for contractual annual leave purposes (within DCC Terms & Conditions).
  • We offer an opportunity to enter a generous Local Government Pension Scheme.
  • If you are looking to make the move to Devon, subject to qualifying conditions, relocation support of up to £10,000 may be available.
  • Visa sponsorship may also be offered as part of the relocation support package, terms and conditions apply.
  • We embrace the positive benefits of a diverse workforce and are committed to providing an environment that is inclusive and safe. We welcome applications from people who share our commitment to stop discrimination, challenge inequality, and promote diversity across Devon. More information can be found on our Equality and Diversity webpages.
