Description
We are recruiting for a Reablement Day Centre Occupational Therapist to join our Reablement Team.
This is an exciting role, managed within Reablement but working closely with Sundial and Sonali Garden Day Opportunities as part of a new model of day care. This model focuses on reablement and 'normalising' leisure and social activities, moving away from the traditional day centre model.
The role incorporates both group work and one-to-one interventions and involves supporting day centre staff to adopt an enabling approach.

- Supporting day centre staff to develop and facilitate groups within community settings
- Clinical oversight of goal setting for individuals with the potential to transition to universal services following 3-12 months of day service input
- Clinical support for less complex goal setting
- Completion of ad hoc functional assessments without the need for referral to Community Therapy services
- Working closely with the Independent Living Hub to identify assistive technology (AT) and equipment solutions to maximise attendees' independence within day services
