Are you a skilled Band 5 looking to take that next definitive step, or an experienced Band 6 OT ready for a refreshing, fast-paced challenge? The Home Treatment Team (HTT) is looking for a dynamic clinician who thrives in the action.

In this role, you’ll be on the front lines of crisis resolution, delivering rapid, high-impact assessment and interventions directly into client's homes when they need it most. We view mental health through a functional lens, helping you champion the unique value of OT—empowering individuals, promoting occupational resilience, and preventing hospital admission.

If you are adaptable, love thinking on your feet, and want to be part of a supportive, multi-disciplinary team that truly values your distinct expertise, we want to hear from you.

The post holder must hold a full, valid, UK driving licence and have access to a car/vehicle to use for business purposes (unless you have a disability as defined by the Equality Act 2010).
