Job summary
Make a real difference where it matters most.
We're looking for a Senior Occupational Therapist to join our South Bristol team, delivering person-centred care in the community.

This is a great opportunity to support people to live well at home--preventing hospital admissions, enabling timely discharge, and delivering meaningful rehabilitation that improves quality of life.

You'll see the impact of your work every day, helping people regain independence and achieve what matters most to them.

At Sirona, we're committed to your development. You'll build specialist community skills, work closely within a supportive multidisciplinary team, and gain experience supervising and supporting others as you grow your leadership skills.

Our Integrated Neighbourhood Teams are forward-thinking and focused on personalised care. You'll work alongside OTs, Physiotherapists, Nurses, Specialist Practitioners and Support Staff to deliver high-quality care in patients' homes.

We offer flexible working with full-time and part-time opportunities, supporting a positive work-life balance.

Main duties of the job
  • Deliver holistic assessments, planning and evaluating care for patients with acute and complex needs
  • Use clinical reasoning to provide evidence-based, person-centred interventions that promote safe, high-quality care
  • Manage your own caseload and support effective team coordination and service delivery
  • Work proactively with MDT colleagues to prevent avoidable admissions and support timely discharges
  • Collaborate with patients, families and carers to set meaningful goals that maximise independence and quality of life
  • Facilitate referrals and coordinate care based on individual needs
  • Assess and arrange appropriate equipment within scope of practice
  • Support, supervise and contribute to the development of junior staff, peers and students
  • Maintain accurate, timely and legally compliant records
  • Contribute to training and continuous service improvement
  • Identify and manage risk to ensure the safety of patients, colleagues and yourself
