Brief description: Sandwell Adult Social Care is seeking two Senior Occupational Therapists to join our moving and handling team. We are recruiting at an exciting time, as this is a newly created team, and the value of OT is more recognised and understood. We have ambitious plans to embed a 'moving with dignity' approach across partners in both health and social care in Sandwell, with a strong focus on facilitating and enabling independence and wellbeing.

We understand that our employees have commitments and interests outside work and encourage good work-life balance by offering a flexible and agile working environment where staff are able to work from home, our office base or multiple locations around Sandwell to best suit their working needs. We welcome candidates that are passionate about the care and the support they provide, ensuring that it is p...
