Occupational Therapist – Local Authority

Liquid Personnel is recruiting for experienced Locum Occupational Therapists to join its client's Local Authority Adult Social Care service in Stoke-on-Trent.

This is an excellent opportunity for an OT with Adult Social Care, community or complex care experience, supporting the service to review high-cost care packages, assess functional needs and identify opportunities to maximise independence while delivering safe, proportionate care.

What will your responsibilities be?

• Complete comprehensive Occupational Therapy and functional assessments for adults receiving home care support
• Assess complex double-up care packages, reviewing whether current levels of support remain appropriate based on functional ability, risk and independence
• Identify opportunities to reduce or adapt care provision safely while maintaining positive outcomes for service users
• Complete moving and handling and functional assessments, considering appropriate equipment, techniques and levels of assistance
• Work closely with service users, carers, care providers and wider Adult Social Care colleagues to develop proportionate support arrangements
