We’re looking for a new Occupational Therapist as we strive to create one of the best Occupational Therapy services in the country. We want you the chance to be part of it!

We can offer you:

Surrey County Council offers competitive benefits and ongoing training, as well as -

  • Mentoring and support from experienced colleagues
  • Work/life balance: flexible working is supported where possible, including working from home or hot desking at a number of County Council sites
  • 26 days annual leave (28 after 2 years’ service) plus 8 bank holidays
  • Relocation assistance of up to £8,000, subject to meeting eligibility criteria

  • Ability to undertake moving & handling assessments; major adaptation assessments for the Disabled Facilities Grant; and knowledge of specialist equipment
  • Knowledge of support planning and carers assessments
  • An Occupational Therapy degree, registration with HCPC, current M&H training
  • Having a full driving license and use of a car is essential

About the role and about you;

As a senior member of the team, you will conduct holistic assessments of social care needs and planning support across a dedicated caseload. In all that you do, you’ll promote independence, choice and control. You will take every opportunity to support and develop those around you. Working closely with families, carers and care workers, you’ll play a vital role in supporting people from diverse backgrounds, with a wide range of needs.

You’ll need to be a professionally qualified and registered OT with excellent, supervisory skills and a proactive, person-centred approach to your work. Substantial post-registration experience of complex casework and risk assessment is crucial. Knowledge of social care policy and legislation is essential, as is a background in working directly with people with variable, unstable or challenging social care needs. The ability to get the best out of others and work collaboratively with partner agencies is equally important, and you should have outstanding assessment skills.
