About The Role

The service covers functional assessments for the environmental needs of both Adults and Children with complex ranges of disabilities and will provide experience with specialities, adaptations, and equipment including major extensions to peoples' homes.
The successful candidate will work together with the person and their families, carers, and contracted external companies and building contractors to help prevent unnecessary admissions to hospital / residential settings and allow people to remain in their own homes. This priority is high on the government agenda and is supported by substantial budgets to achieve this goal.

- To provide leaderships, supervision and appraisal for junior and non-qualified staff and also students.
- To participate in the planning, development and evaluation of Occupational Therapy Services within the Adaptations Service, holding responsibility for defined projects.
