As an Occupational Therapist within Early Intervention Integrated services, including Reablement, Equipment and Adaptations and Assistive Technology, you will work with service users who are experiencing difficulties with their ability to complete activities of daily living and experiencing reduced levels of independence.  

The service responds to both children and adults who require assessment and intervention to support optimum health and wellbeing within the home environment and the community. In responding to adult cases, you will provide highly specialised assessment, treatment and management of adults who present with physical, learning or mental health needs that impact on their ability to manage within their home environment.  

You will be responsible for the assessment of need and to utilise a range of solutions to achieve optimum independence, via the use of a reablement programme, assistive technology, small pieces of equipment and minor adaptations, and/or the provision of major equipment and adaptations where an integrated approach has already indicated no further rehabilitation potential, or a compensatory approach is needed for the adult to reach their full potential. You will work in conjunction with the Advanced Practitioner Occupational Therapist and other specialists as part of a multi-disciplinary team to develop an integrated approach to services.

You will work in conjunction with the Advanced Practitioner Occupational Therapist and other specialists in Occupational Therapy to develop an integrated approach to services, identifying service goals and priorities as part of a child’s overall care plan and needs assessment

You will provide a specialist response in complex cases, formulating and implementing intervention plans aimed at reducing the impact of disability and increasing the independence of children in their own homes through the provision of equipment and adaptations.
