What you will do:

• Carry out occupational therapy assessments to identify functional abilities, risks, and reablement potential.

• Deliver short-term, outcome-focused interventions to promote independence in daily living activities.

• Develop, implement, and review personalised reablement plans with clear goals and timescales.

• Recommend, prescribe, and review equipment, assistive technology, and minor adaptations.

• Contribute to hospital discharge planning to ensure safe and timely transitions into the community.

• Work collaboratively with reablement support workers, social workers, healthcare professionals, and partner agencies.

• Apply relevant Adult Social Care legislation, including the Care Act 2014 and Mental Capacity Act 2005.
