Warwickshire

£42,500-£48,000 per annum DOE

Full-Time, Monday–Friday (Flexible/part-time arrangements considered)

About the Role

Compass Associates are proud to be working with a Specialist Neurological Care, Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care site who are seeking an enthusiastic, experienced Senior Occupational Therapist (Band 6) to join their highly collaborative, interdisciplinary therapy team.

Operating across two complementary specialist sites, their patient population includes individuals recovering from stroke, acquired brain injury, and spinal cord injury, as well as those with prolonged disorders of consciousness, tracheostomies, and progressive neurological diseases.

This position is ideal for an OT who thrives on variety, direct patient impact, and managing the full breadth of occupational therapy practice rather than being restricted to a single niche area.

  • Lead on complex 24-hour postural management, specialized seating assessments, positioning, and upper-limb splinting.
  • Identify, evaluate, and implement specialized assistive technology, adaptative equipment, and environmental modifications.
  • Utilise dedicated therapy spaces, including a therapeutic kitchen and level-access facilities, to rebuild functional independence and daily living skills.
  • Coordinate closely with external specialist services, wheelchair services, tertiary centres, and family members to ensure seamless ongoing care.

About You

  • HCPC registered Occupational Therapist
  • Minimum 3–4 years’ post-qualification experience in neurological rehabilitation or long-term care.
  • Experience with tracheostomy management is advantageous, though training can be provided for the right candidate.
  • A compassionate, collaborative mindset with a strong passion for holistic, interdisciplinary working and long-term therapeutic relationships.

Interview Process

  • 1 stage including a case study, tour of the service and interview with a panel

Benefits

  • 28 days holiday per annum, rising to 30 days with service
  • Extensive CPD opportunities
  • Mentor support
  • Free on-site parking
  • Contributory pension scheme
