We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Occupational Therapist to join the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) service at Bracknell Forest Council. This role focuses on housing adaptations and the progression of Disabled Facilities Grants, supporting residents to live independently and safely in their homes.
At Bracknell Forest, we pride ourselves on being a council which is stable and well-managed where our employees can thrive in a supportive environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>About you…</h3>
You will work closely with the DFG team, Adult Social Care colleagues, housing partners, contractors and Housing Associations. Using your occupational therapy expertise, you will ensure that adaptations are person centred, meet long term needs and are reviewed upon completion to ensure the assessed outcomes have been fully met.
You will have recent, relevant experience in major housing adaptations. You should be capable of working creatively with others to develop practical solutions where the home environment affects a person’s independence, function and wellbeing. This may also involve assessing and matching individuals to void properties when the current accommodation is unsuitable and cannot be reasonably adapted.
In addition to casework, you will also contribute to capacity building across teams by sharing your knowledge of major adaptations, legislation, eligibility criteria and associated processes.
<h3>About the team…</h3>
The Disabled Facilities Grant team is a small but busy team providing an extensive and responsive service to clients.

<li>Assist in the development and review adaptation plans in partnership with service users and DFG colleagues, setting realistic and meaningful goals that support choice, control, and long term independence.</li>
<li>Work collaboratively with a range of professionals including DFG Case Workers, Surveyors, contractors, Housing Officers, Architects, Social Workers and health colleagues to ensure the effective design and delivery of home adaptations under the Disabled Facilities Grant.</li>
<li>Liaise with individuals, families and carers to ensure that proposed adaptations are necessary and appropriate to meet the client’s needs.</li>
<li>Maintain accurate, up-to-date electronic records using the council’s case management system, ensuring that assessments, decisions and outcomes are clearly documented.</li>
<li>Write clear, evidence based reports and professional recommendations to support DFG applications and specifications for adaptations.</li>
<li>Attend and contribute to multidisciplinary meetings and case discussions where housing needs and adaptations form part of broader care and support planning.</li>
<li>Make timely referrals and signpost individuals to relevant services, community support or other specialists, when needs fall outside the DFG scope or where additional support is beneficial.</li>
<li>Support the development and continuous improvement of the DFG service through involvement in audits, service planning and evaluations, ensuring the service remains responsive and effective.</li>
<li>Effectively manage a caseload, prioritising work based on risk, need and the complexity of individual circumstances, ensuring timely assessments and delivery of outcomes.</li>
<li>Work in line with safeguarding procedures to identify and reduce risks of harm, liaising with relevant professionals and escalating concerns where necessary.</li>
<li>To ensure all practice complies with the policies, procedures and standards of the council, as well as the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) Code of Conduct and Standards of Proficiency.</li>
<li>To actively participate in regular supervision, individual and team performance discussions and reflective practice sessions to improve own and team practice and performance.</li>
<li>Operate within the scope of professional competence, seeking advice and support when needed, and participating in ongoing training and professional development activities.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Our benefits…&nbsp;</h3>
<ul>
<li>28 days* annual leave increasing to 33 days* after 3 years’ continuous service.</li>
<li>The opportunity to buy up to 10 additional days* annual leave per year and sell 5 days.</li>
<li>Hybrid working opportunities to support your wellbeing and work-life balance.&nbsp;</li>

<li>Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption and fostering leave.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Recognition of continuous service attained within the NHS and UKHSA when calculating some benefits such as annual leave entitlements, occupational maternity/paternity leave, and more. (Terms and Conditions apply – please refer to candidate pack for more information.)</li>
<li>Career development through internal and external training opportunities.&nbsp;</li>
<li>A great office location next to travel links and Bracknell Forest’s thriving town centre.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to support your health and wellbeing.&nbsp;</li>

An exciting opportunity has arisen within Guildford Borough Council’s Design and Conservation Team in the role of Senior Urban Design Officer to provide proactive specialist urban design advice and to play a key role in shaping future built development within the Borough.
GBC have adopted two Local Plans over the last 5 years and are just about to embark on a Local Plan update in line with the government’s new plan making process. The existing Local Plan includes a number of very large residential led sites that are still to secure planning permission. Work is also starting on a capacity study in and around the Town Centre that will inform site allocations including guidance on the height and density of development and design coding. To enable the delivery of these ambitions, a highly experienced and qualified Urban Designer is being sought to lead and champion high quality contextual urban design and help shape sustainable development and growth in the Borough.
Working within the Council’s Economy, Planning and Place Service, the role will involve a stimulating balance of casework and strategic policy guidance, and will include:
<ul>
<li>Leading in placemaking and urban design across the borough, including newly planned neighbourhoods, housing projects, regeneration areas and town centre projects.</li>
<li>Providing proactive design advice on major PPAs and planning applications, as well as working with developers and their representatives on all matters relating to urban design and the built form.</li>
<li>Providing advice on proposals with significant impacts on the public realm and on environmental improvement schemes.</li>
<li>Evaluating existing guidance and producing up to date guidance and policies.</li>
<li>Contributing to ongoing policy work.</li>
</ul>
Applicants should have a recognised degree/post graduate qualification in urban design, planning or architecture as well as proven professional experience within the urban design field role. Excellent verbal, written and illustrative communication, effective time management and a sound knowledge and proactive use of national design policy, guidance and legislation are all essential. You will also have an ability to build a rapport and working relationship with stakeholders, elected members, consultees, colleagues and local communities. The successful candidate will also need to hold a full driving licence and have access to a car.&nbsp;Membership of a recognised professional body (RIBA, RTPI, RICS) would also be desirable, as would experience of working within a local planning authority or similar agency.
The offices are located by the river Wey, close to Guildford Town Centre, and a short walk from the station. The post also benefits from on-site parking as an essential car user.&nbsp;
As a Council we offer many employee benefits including a career average earnings pension scheme, childcare vouchers, generous annual leave and a good work life balance including hybrid working.
If you would like to discuss this opportunity, please contact Louise Blaxall, Principle Design and Conservation Officer -&nbsp; <a href="mailto:louise.blaxall@guildford.gov.uk" target="_blank">louise.blaxall@guildford.gov.uk</a>.&nbsp;
The Council may choose to undertake interviews and fill the position during the advertisement period. Should this be the case, the Council will close the advertisement prior to the advertised closing date. Applicants are encouraged to make submissions as early as possible.&nbsp;
Closing Date:&nbsp;Wednesday 6th August 2025&nbsp;or an earlier date if the Council secures a candidate prior to the closing date.
