Team Lead Occupational Therapist
4 days ago
Greenwich
Locum Team Lead OT required for a specialist inpatient neurorehabilitation service in London. £40–£55 DOE. This is a high-calibre placement for a senior Occupational Therapist who wants two things: 1. a genuinely complex neuro caseload, and, 2. a leadership remit where you can set standards, unblock barriers, and keep rehab moving. The service supports adults following brain injury and other complex neurological presentations. Expect a mixed clinical picture — physical disability alongside cognitive impairment and, at times, behavioural / neuropsychiatric complexity — so this suits an OT who is calm, structured and decisive within MDT environments. What you’ll be doing (Team Lead remit) • Lead OT delivery across the inpatient pathway: assessment → intervention → review → discharge planning, • Hold a complex caseload and provide senior clinical decision-making within the MDT, • Drive goal-setting and functional rehab plans that translate into measurable progress, • Keep discharge pathways moving: equipment/adaptations, risk-aware planning, onward liaison and clear recommendations, • Provide day-to-day supervision and support to OT colleagues and rehab support staff, • Shape quality and consistency: governance habits, robust documentation, and practical service improvements (8a-leaning scope where appropriate) What I’m looking for • HCPC registered Occupational Therapist, • Strong neuro / ABI / complex rehab background (inpatient experience highly advantageous), • Confident with prioritisation, risk management, family/carer communication and complex discharge planning, • Leadership/supervision experience appropriate to Band 7–8a level Rate / start • £40–£55 per hour (DOE), • ASAP start, • Contract length + working pattern confirmed on enquiry (Band 7–8a depending on experience) If you’re open to a conversation, DM me “TEAM LEAD OT” and I’ll send the full brief and booking process. #OccupationalTherapy #LocumOT #NeuroRehab #BrainInjury #Band7 #Band8a #AlliedHealth #OTJobs #LondonJobs
