At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious
vision is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at
their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for – the communities and businesses that
make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making
decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Occupational Therapy Assistant in Adult Social Care at Swindon Borough Council.

As a team we provide support to vulnerable adults who may have a variety of physical or sensory impairments, learning disability or mental health conditions. Whilst also considering the needs of carers within a community setting.

Your next role

You will use your effective communication skills to undertake strength-based occupational therapy practice with the aim of supporting our clients to live as independently as possible in the community by providing where appropriate suitable equipment, advice and minor and major adaptations. You will be working with and alongside Occupational Therapists.

You will receive formal and informal learning opportunities, support and supervision. As a Swindon Borough Council employee you will have access to a range of staff benefits including a final salary pension scheme, local and national discounts, and free parking near the office in Swindon Town Centre.

The post involves working in a range of settings, therefore a full driver’s licence and access to a car for use at work, or ability to attend site visits is required. 

An enhanced DBS disclosure will be required for this position.

You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).

Your next package

Please see our offer for more details.

As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.

For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re-vitalised Swindon together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.
