You will hold a small caseload of no more than eight service users and will need to have excellent time management skills to care coordinate as well as prioritise and manage referrals for occupational therapy. You will provide coaching and support to band 5 OT's and support staff within the team, delegating where appropriate, to offer meaningful engagement and opportunities for individuals to build upon social skills and work towards their ability and willingness to travel across the Birmingham & Solihull area for work purposes is required for this role
