    Veterans Community Occupational Therapist (Maternity Cover)


    Location: Remote working covering Northern Ireland

    Hours: Full time, 35 hours per week

    About Us


    At Help for Heroes, we help the Armed Forces community live well after service.

    Life can be tough when a military career comes to an end, especially if it has been cut short by illness or injury. Overnight, people lose not only their job, but also a support network that is like family. There are many ways we help veterans, their relatives, serving personnel, and people who worked alongside the UK military. We help people with their physical and mental health needs, and a range of welfare issues. Our support gives people the skills, confidence and knowledge to make a success of life after service.

    We have an exciting opportunity for a Veterans Community Occupational Therapist to join the Services team at Help for Heroes and play a key role in supporting veterans and their families to access the right clinical and functional support, helping them live well after service.

    Below is information on what might be your future role.

    About You


    Are you a committed, registered Occupational Therapist, with more than two years' experience, looking to expand your skills and have the opportunity to work with the Armed Forces Community? If you have an understanding of and empathy with the requirements of veterans and their families, you could contribute your skills and experience to improve the quality of life for our beneficiaries.

    About the Role


    As a Veterans Community Occupational Therapist, you will:

    • Provide community-based occupational therapy input to veterans, supporting their physical health, independence and day-to-day functioning.
    • Work with veterans and, where appropriate, their families and support networks to assess needs and identify practical, person‑centred solutions.
    • Support veterans to navigate healthcare and support pathways, promoting independence and wellbeing.
    • Work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team alongside Community Nurses and other professionals.
    • Contribute to education, outreach and engagement activity to support the Armed Forces Community.

    About the Team


    You will be joining the clinical team at Help for Heroes, providing community-based support to the Armed Forces Community across Northern Ireland. The team works collaboratively as a multidisciplinary group of Occupational Therapists and Community Nurses, finding resourceful ways to deliver care that is right, fair and tailored to each individual.

    Our aim is to champion the Armed Forces Community as they transition to civilian life, working together as one team to support long‑term health, independence and wellbeing.

    In return we can offer you:

    • Belonging to a team who make a difference to our community and value equality, diversity and inclusion.
    • 29 days' annual leave plus 8 bank holidays, regardless of service – plus your birthday off to celebrate
    • Opportunity to buy and sell up to 5 days annual leave per year.
    • Added to our free health scheme from day one, including discounts on dental, opticians, massages, and more – with the option to upgrade.
    • 3 volunteer days per year to support the Help for Heroes community.
    • A generous salary sacrifice pension scheme with an 8% employer contribution and a minimum 3% employee contribution, plus life insurance up to 4× salary as an active member.
    • Discounts on our branded clothing, including a free Help for Heroes hoodie when you complete your induction.

    Closing date: 15th Feb 2026

    Interview Process: There will be a 2 part interview process. Stage 1 will be online via Microsoft Teams. Stage 2 will be in person in Belfast.

    Please note: We may close this vacancy early should we receive a high volume of strong applications.
