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 motivated Occupational Therapists in Adult Social Care at Swindon Borough Council.

    You will be part of a busy, supportive multi-skilled team of Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants, Hearing and Vision practitioners, Social Workers and Assistant Care Managers.

    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 analytical and communication skills to undertake occupational therapy practice whether this be by telephone, remotely or face-to-face, building your professional expertise in minor and major adaptations, compensatory techniques, equipment provision, moving and handling assessments, and housing needs assessments, with the aim of supporting our clients to live as independently as possible in the community.

    Part of your community-based role requires you to carry out lone home visits within Swindon to clients' homes, supported living homes, residential care settings and nursing homes. It is crucial that you have the ability to demonstrate initiative and work autonomously and you will need the ability to work flexibly under pressure to both self-determined and prescribed deadlines. A hybrid-working pattern would be expected, accommodating a combination of remote/home working as well as on-site/in-office presence.

    We require an Occupational Therapist who has robust clinical grounding and can be innovative and creative in the way that they work, thinking divergently to provide holistic and strength based solutions. A great team player, you will be adaptable in your working role and will participate where appropriate in projects related to new ways of working across the teams.

    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")

    The ability to travel throughout the Borough will be required.

    You must hold a professional qualification in Occupational Therapy and be registered with the HCPC to apply for this post

    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.

    Please see our page for more details.
