We’re looking for a Senior Occupational Therapist to join our Specialist Community Neurology Service on a 12month maternity cover – could this be your next move?
This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking team supporting people living with neurological conditions across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG). You’ll work in a variety of settings; from people’s homes to clinics and digital consultations, giving you the flexibility to deliver truly personalised, person-centred care.
You’ll be joining a friendly, supportive, and highly skilled multidisciplinary team, including Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, MS Nurses, Therapy Assistants, and a brilliant Admin team, alongside close collaboration with Adult Speech and Language Therapy colleagues.
This role offers the best of both worlds: the autonomy to manage your own caseload and the support of a collaborative MDT, enabling you to make a meaningful difference in people’s daily lives.
We’re proud of our open, inclusive, and learning-focused culture. We genuinely value each team member’s contribution and place a strong emphasis on staff wellbeing, professional development, and supporting each other through the challenges of today’s healthcare environment. We warmly welcome applicants from all backgrounds who meet the essential criteria.
