Bury, United Kingdom Bury Council Full time

Team: Adult Social Care - Reviewing Team

Bury Council is excited to announce new opportunities within our Adult Social Care Reviewing Team. We are expanding our services by introducing therapy support to enhance the care review process for our residents. This is your chance to be part of a forward-thinking team dedicated to empowering vulnerable adults in Bury.

Position Available:

  • Grade 13 Occupational Therapist - 22.2 hours per week (flexible across 3 weekdays), 2-year contract.

While this position is initially set for 2 years, there will be a review towards the end of this period to evaluate the project's long-term sustainability, with the potential to make these roles permanent.

Please note that due to this project being a new initiative where working with high levels of professional autonomy will be required, this requires candidates to have at least 2 years post-qualifying experience.

  • Competitive Pension Scheme: Secure your future with our local government pension plan and access to employee wellbeing support services.

  • Promoting Independence: Utilize a strengths-based approach to empower individuals and reduce reliance on care services.
  • Reviewing and Planning: Regularly review care plans to ensure they meet the evolving needs of residents, with a focus on promoting long-term well-being and independence.
  • Joint Working: Working closely with the technical instructor and reviewing officers/social workers as part of providing assessments to customers and working with customers in ways to increase their independence
