Community OT Role
We believe good Occupational Therapy requires more than fitting as many appointments as possible into a day.
An assessment might lead to equipment research, conversations with family, discussions with a care manager, a supplier visit, a builder consultation and a detailed clinical report.

Client assessments
Clinical documentation
Report writing
Equipment research
Supplier liaison

Phone calls and emails
Case discussions
Travel
Administration
The aim is a sustainable working week where reports and documentation are completed as part of your job —not something that regularly follows you home at night.

We Take Travel Seriously

Community work can provide enormous flexibility when it's managed properly.

Outside of scheduled appointments, you'll have the autonomy to manage yourreport writing, clinical documentation and follow-up workaround your caseload.
Our focus is on high-quality work and meeting your responsibilities, rather than unnecessarily prescribing where you need to be every hour of the day.
