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.

You will be based in the Start team, and work autonomously providing occupational therapy for people receiving a Reablement Service. You will work closely with, and receive supervision from the new Occupational Therapy Hub.
Guided by the Team Manager and Principal Occupational Therapist, the new Occupational Therapy Hub in Sutton unifies Occupational Therapy and Sensory services within social care.

The Hub focuses on strength-based assessments to enhance independence and well-being, covering a wide range of support from reablement, assessments for disabled facilities grant, optimal care, to housing needs assessments, making it a comprehensive service for the community.
