You will need to be competent in carrying out initial assessments to evaluate physical, cognitive, sensory and perceptual skills within home and community environments. With the ability to create a bespoke report reflecting the needs of the client from an Occupational Therapy perspective. Rehabilitation will involve developing client-centred goals and devising bespoke treatment programmes. Occupational Therapy Assistants can assist to deliver the input required in the rehabilitation programme. Rehabilitation programmes may involve assessment and prescription of equipment, adaptations to enhance independence, accommodation and independent living, cognitive and fatigue management, and upper limb rehabilitation.

You need to be an effective communicator with the ability to handle challenging behaviour in order to create the best possible outcome for our clients. Building rapport with the client's family is extremely important, as is liaising with and acting as part of a variety of multi-disciplinary teams [including legal teams].
