About the Role
As a Senior Occupational Therapist, you’ll be at the heart of a compassionate, interdisciplinary team dedicated to supporting adults with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) to live meaningful, empowered lives in their communities.

From designing interventions to advising on equipment and environmental adaptations, your input will be key to unlocking independence and dignity.
Education and training are also central to this role — you’ll share your knowledge with staff and clients alike, fostering a culture of learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement. If you're passionate about rehabilitation, advocacy, and helping people reclaim their lives after brain injury, we’d love to hear from you.
This is a Specified Purpose, Full-Time, 35 hours contract covering a maternity leave.
