Our Occupational Therapy team works across both locality teams and a city wide, complex Home Adaptations Service in sync with our developing front line service, Independent Living Service, which offers self-assessment and fast track services.

We are looking for motivated, creative therapists to join us across crucial areas, including ILS Swift, Assistive Technology and Housing Liaison, and support the social model of disability to promote customer choice and independence. You’ll be encouraged to help improve the service and ensure that customer needs are met and exceeded. This is an excellent opportunity to help Bristol’s community and we’ll fully support your development needs with a progressive career structure and regular appraisals. You must have current registration and a Dip.COT or BScOT qualification, together with the ability to travel city wide and work with all types of people.
