In this varied and rewarding role, you’ll manage a diverse caseload of individuals with complex needs across community and inpatient settings, using evidence‑based practice to deliver high‑quality, person‑centred rehabilitation. You’ll exercise professional autonomy when assessing, planning and reviewing interventions, and play a key part in triaging new referrals into the service.
You will support and guide junior colleagues, including rotational Band 5 therapists and wider team members, while also taking a lead role in supervising Occupational Therapy students. As an experienced clinician, you’ll contribute to service development, helping shape and enhance therapy pathways to deliver the best outcomes for our patients.

We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you’ll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
Over 5,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
We work in people’s homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 10 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.
Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increase the numbers of people who use out services.
