Specialist Occupational Therapist -Wheelchair service

The postholder will be a highly specialist clinician responsible for a caseload of medium, high and very specialist need service users, leading on clinical assessment and prescription of wheelchairs and associated equipment which are tailored to meet the individuals assessed needs.

Assessments are made via weekly clinic assessments or at home visits or venues appropriate to the service user in the community. You will hold a full UK driving licence and undertake visits in wheelchair service vehicles.

The therapist will work alone or in conjunction with Rehabilitation Engineers and Special seating engineers where presenting clinical needs indicate. They will often be the point of contact for service users who contact the service with issues or concerns regarding their wheeled mobility and will respond in a proactive, problem‑solving manner, triaging the appropriate response for effective solution.
