We are offering a £5000 welcome bonus for this role

Are you ready to take your expertise in neurorehabilitation to the next level and lead the transformation of a pioneering service?

Our Birmingham centre is transitioning to Active Neuro, the newly launched division of Active Care Group, providing specialist neurological rehabilitation for adults living with complex neurological conditions. This is a unique opportunity to lead the transformation of a specialist neurological rehabilitation service at a pivotal stage in its journey.

Main duties of the job
We're looking for an ambitious Occupational Therapist who sees opportunity where others see challenge. Someone who is passionate about building high-performing teams, embedding clinical excellence, and creating a rehabilitation service recognised for outstanding patient outcomes.

You'll join at a time of significant investment across our neurorehabilitation division, with the opportunity to influence not only the therapy team, but the future direction of the service itself. A key part of this investment is the development of a purpose-built, state-of-the-art neurorehabilitation gym, created by refurbishing and extending an existing building to connect seamlessly with the main centre. The new facility will feature multiple specialist treatment rooms alongside a full suite of advanced rehabilitation technology, including robotics and equipment such as the Luna EMG Premium and ExoMotus M4, enabling therapists to deliver intensive, goal-oriented rehabilitation that achieves exceptional patient outcomes. As a member of the therapy leadership team, you'll have the opportunity to help shape the design and development of this exciting new facility, ensuring it meets the needs of both clinicians and the people we support.

If you're passionate about leading people, shaping services, and delivering exceptional person-centred neurorehabilitation, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact while helping define the future of Active Neuro.

About us
Active Care Group are a pioneering national provider of complex care services, delivering pathways and better outcomes for people. We have a collaborative and holistic approach to care underpinned by proven clinical and therapeutic expertise. We specialise in supporting young people and adults with complex needs to make positive progress and lead happier, more independent lives.
