Sutton, United Kingdom London Borough of Sutton Full time

About the Role

Join Adult Social Care as an Occupational Therapist and receive a Welcome Bonus of £ paid in your first month's salary and a Retention Bonus of £ for every complete year in service (*subject to pay scale). With a total package up to £51, including bonuses and benefits, this is an excellent opportunity to advance your career in social care.

This is an exciting opportunity for Occupational Therapists to join our Short Term Assessment and Reablement (START) Team on a 3 year fixed term contract, as part of a significant transformation journey in Sutton’s Adult Social Care service. Our goal is to empower people to live as independently as possible, and we are looking for individuals with specialist skills to help us achieve this mission. 

As an Occupational Therapist (OT) in Sutton Adult Social Care, you will be based in the START Team with support from Occupational Therapists in our new OT Hub. You will screen and prioritise Reablement occupational therapy referrals. You will work with people to achieve their goals for up to 6 weeks, supporting them to regain their independence, and prevent, reduce and delay the need for ongoing support. You will ensure that assessment and recommendations are robust and fully meet the needs of our residents and their carers. Recommendations may include equipment from the peripheral store, adaptations, and working closely with formal and informal carers to provide moving and handling risk assessment. You will work closely with colleagues in Sutton Health and Care NHS teams and the Hospital Pathway Team. You will provide guidance and supervision to Enabling Independence Officers in Reablement, who complete work as Trusted Assessors.

Your role will be vital in helping individuals access the support they need to enhance their quality of life and well-being. If you are passionate about making a difference, have strong interpersonal skills to build effective relationships and can show empathy and sensitivity towards individuals facing difficult circumstances, we want to hear from you.

About Us

The Short Term Assessment and Reablement (START) Team provides a Reablement Service to the London Borough of Sutton.
