Job description

Role Responsibility

At Kent County Council, Occupational Therapy is viewed as a critical service in enabling people to live their lives in the way that most matters to them.  This is an exciting time to be joining us, as our service is moving to co-locate with our in-house enablement services and short-term pathways teams.  This will give us the opportunity to work in a more co-ordinated, preventative and creative way to maximise independence.

We currently have opportunities for both newly qualified and experienced OT's within our community teams across Kent.  We offer an excellent induction and ongoing training package, to facilitate you to develop your expertise within moving and handling, enablement techniques, specialist equipment and major adaptations, thus ensuring that the people we support receive high quality, personalised interventions that genuinely improve lives.  You will receive regular individual supervision from a registered Occupational Therapy Lead and a tailored personal development plan to enable you to develop your career pathway within Kent and be the best that you can be. 

Positions Available

KR9 / KR10 full and part time hours can be discussed at interview.  

Positions available in the following areas:

- West Kent South - Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells
- West Kent North - Maidstone and Malling

Kent County Council is committed to flexible and hybrid working opportunities and although we complete our assessments and interventions within a person’s own residence or short-term assessment bed setting, our Occupational Therapists work their non-clinical time between an office base and / or their home.  Kent County Council is also committed to ensuring that it is increasingly accessible to the public outside of traditional office hours and although Occupational Therapists are not working on a rota basis to deliver a service seven days per week, this may be required in the future.

This role is subject to holding a Full UK Driving Licence – The Council is committed to making reasonable adjustments so whilst this job requires the jobholder to drive your application will still be considered if you are unable to drive due to a disability.

We are committed to service user and carer involvement and seek to involve service users and carers in our recruitment processes.

This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure application to the Disclosure and Barring service and registration as a qualified Occupational Therapist with the Health and Care Professions Council.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
