About the role

Adult Social Care in Hammersmith & Fulham: Be Part of What’s Next

Adult Social Care in Hammersmith & Fulham is the place to be.

We are at an exciting turning point. Our new Adult Social Care strategy sets a bold direction for the future – one that champions creativity, autonomy, and truly person led practice. Everything we do is shaped by what matters most to our residents. This isn’t just a vision; it’s a commitment to delivering better outcomes, transforming how we work, and building a system that enables people to live full, independent lives in their own homes and communities.

We’ve redesigned our Front Door and Community Services to reflect this ambition. Our new operating model recognises that independent living is not just about services – it’s about strong communities, inclusive systems, and the right support at the right time, underpinned by strong strengths based social work practice. By focusing on prevention, choice, and inclusion, we are creating a borough where people are supported to thrive at every stage of life.

In Hammersmith & Fulham, we believe people are the experts in their own lives. Our role as a council is to remove barriers, enable independence and champion equality and inclusion in everything we do.

We’re looking for positive change makers to help deliver the vision with us.

We are actively seeking experienced, qualified Occupational Therapists to join our Adult Social Care services in Hammersmith & Fulham. You will be HCPC registered, bring strong post qualifying experience, and feel confident working across complex practice areas including functional assessment, strength based planning, equipment and adaptations, reablement, housing related interventions and the application of the Care Act.
In Hammersmith & Fulham, Occupational Therapy is central to our ambition to support independent living and prevention. Your professional judgement will be trusted, and your expertise valued as a key contributor to enabling people to live well in their own homes and communities. You’ll work closely with social workers, health colleagues and community partners.

We offer a supportive environment with reflective supervision, manageable caseloads, and opportunities to specialise and develop. Our operating model is designed to reduce unnecessary bureaucracy and give Occupational Therapists the space to focus on meaningful, outcome focused work that makes a real difference to residents’ lives.

If you are an experienced Occupational Therapist looking for a role where your skills, values and creativity are recognised – and where you can help shape the future of Adult Social Care practice – Hammersmith & Fulham is the place to be.
