An opportunity has arisen for an occupational therapist to join the Housing Occupational Therapy Team, located within the multi-disciplinary Royal Greenwich Disability and Home Improvement Team. The Housing Occupational Therapy Team takes a multifactorial approach to maximising the availability of accessible housing to residents of the Royal Borough who have an identified need for it. 

This busy, rewarding and varied role will suit applicants who have a strong commitment to the delivery of high-quality services to residents and an understanding of housing problems faced by people with health and disability issues.

You will need to be registered to practise as an occupational therapist with the UK Health and Care Professions Council.

The successful candidate will be able to undertake thorough occupational therapy assessments, using highly effective communication skills and activity analysis, with an understanding of health and disability, and of environmental adaptation. The role requires taking a proactive problem-solving approach to access and independence issues, informed by an understanding of the Social Model of Disability. The successful candidate will also be able to work both independently and with others towards positive outcomes for residents in housing need.

An ability to understand and apply relevant legislation and to maintain professional standards is also essential.
