Therefore, applicants must have full access to a vehicle that can be used for work purposes.

We recognise and welcome applications from disabled individuals who may require reasonable adjustments to meet this requirement, and we’re happy to discuss this from the first point of contact with the recruitment team.

Please note: we are unable to sponsor this role as it does not meet Home Office requirements.

For an informal chat about the role, you can contact Chloe Cox, Service Manager – Occupational Therapy - East - [email protected] or Recruitment – [email protected]

Please note we reserve the right to close this advert early if we have received a sufficient number of applications, so don’t delay, apply today!
