Occupational Therapist | Nottingham

Come and join one of the UK’s largest independent providers in neuro and mental healthcare. We proudly employ over 4000+ people – no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone. Step into a specialist neurorehabilitation career with Active Neuro – part of Active Care Group. We’re redefining what’s possible in neurological rehabilitation, and we’re looking for an enthusiastic Occupational Therapist (equivalent to Band 5 level) to join our friendly and forward-thinking team in Nottingham.

In this role, you’ll work with clients at varying stages of their rehabilitation journey, focusing on restoring function, independence and quality of life. Our multidisciplinary approach integrates NHS, private and medicolegal pathways, allowing you to contribute to longer‑term, outcome‑focused rehabilitation programmes rather than time‑limited interventions.

What you’ll love about this role:

• Varied clinical experience: work with neurological conditions, polytrauma, amputations and catastrophic injuries
• Access to innovative technology: including Luna Robotic EMG, Exo Motus and Arm Motus to enhance rehabilitation outcomes
• Continuity of care: work across both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting clients at every stage of their recovery
• Room to grow: supported by an experienced MDT, you’ll develop skills in areas such as cognitive and perceptual rehabilitation, splinting, adaptive equipment and neuropsychologically‑informed practice
• Service development: contribute ideas, shape new approaches and help drive continual improvement within our Nottingham service
• Collaboration: work closely with our wider Active Neuro network, sharing knowledge and connecting with colleagues across other specialist sites
• Professional development: access tailored CPD and learning opportunities, plus external events with partners such as Headway and the Spinal Injuries Association

If you’re an early‑career Occupational Therapist with a passion for neurorehabilitation, we’d love to hear from you. Join a service that values creativity, curiosity and meaningful outcomes—helping people rebuild their lives, one goal at a time.

The role:

• Collaborate within multi‑disciplinary teams (MDTs), providing Occupational Therapy expertise to support comprehensive assessments, care planning and exceptional care delivery for those in our service.
• Design and implement personalised and group‑based Occupational Therapy programmes tailored to individual needs.
• Play a key role in the efficient functioning of MDTs by performing essential tasks such as liaising with families, attending and documenting CPAs and taking minutes for meetings.
• Support the training and development of care staff and other team members, promoting a strong foundation of Occupational Therapy principles within care practices.
• Actively contribute to the service’s therapy team by sharing insights, exchanging information and collaborating with colleagues.
• Maintain accurate and thorough records, assisting in the generation of high‑quality management reports across the service.
• Foster and sustain positive working relationships with colleagues, visitors, carers and members of the MDT to ensure seamless collaboration and care delivery.
• Keep people safe from any harm and protect their human rights.

About you:

• You’ll be a motivated, compassionate and forward‑thinking Occupational Therapist, ideally with some experience or a strong interest in neurological rehabilitation.
• You don’t need to be an expert yet – we’ll support you to build confidence and competence through structured supervision, mentoring and exposure to complex cases.
• HCPC registration
• Experience within a neurorehabilitation setting would be an advantage
• Passionate about rehabilitation, recovery and person‑centred care
• Keen to develop specialist skills in neurorehabilitation within a supportive, multi‑disciplinary environment
• A team player with good communication and organisational skills
• Curious, reflective and open to learning – with a genuine drive to make a difference in people’s lives
