About us

We have a fantastic opportunity for a permanent full-time position available for an Occupational Therapist Practice Supervisor working in Adult Social Care leading on the Integrated Community Equipment Service (ICES).

About the role

Our priority is to support the most vulnerable people in our communities. We do this by working as creatively and efficient as possible, whilst utilising the opportunities afforded by closer working with health and housing and working proactively to encourage independent and safe living within the community. Good outcomes will be achieved by providing the right support, in the right way at the right time. We actively collaborate with other agencies to put the people of Oxfordshire at the heart of decision-making.

We offer regular and robust supervision and invest in training opportunities in these roles enabling you to develop skills, plus a career progression scheme, to help you progress professionally.

About you

We need someone who is enthusiastic and keen to work in a creative way and be integral in assisting to further develop the service to the residents of Oxfordshire.

You will be part of an Integrated Community Equipment Service team within Oxfordshire. You will need to work in partnership with your health colleagues and with the NRS clinical team including the Occupational Therapist . You will help with guiding best practice for prescribers, encouraging the use of Recycled Specials and chairing the Equipment Review Group for the county.

This is a great opportunity to develop your career and gain experience within a supportive management team. You will be encouraged to develop your knowledge and skills with data analysis. Quality and monitoring skills are needed to support your commissioning colleagues by running any data analysis required.

We are looking for a HCPC Registered Occupational Therapist who has substantial skills in the area of specialist equipment. You will also need to have a commitment to continuous professional development. The successful applicant should have the ability to travel to and access a variety of premises across Oxfordshire. We also actively encourage agile working in line with Oxfordshire County Council Agile working policy. Whilst Knights Court in Oxford will be the main base, you will work several days per week at the Nottingham Rehab Service depot in Bicester.

It really is true that every single job role here contributes to bettering the lives of the people in our county - we want to do this for our employees too. We are proud of our strong flexible working culture, including the opportunity for flexibility on working hours and the use of technology to support agile working. We offer some of the very best learning and development opportunities to support your ongoing development.

We have a generous holiday allowance which rises as you remain in employment with us up to 32 days, as well as giving you the option to buy additional holiday.
