There is an exciting opportunity for an Occupational Therapist to lead our Proportionate Care project over the next 12 months. This role will sit within the Community OT team with a special focus on providing moving and handling assessments to people receiving formal packages of care. The post holder will use their experience with moving and handling together with provision of equipment and adaptations to ensure their packages of care are safe and efficient. They will work with colleagues in Care at Home and the SW training team to improve the skills of our carers with new techniques and appropriate use of equipment.

Moray is a paradise for lovers of the outdoors, with many designated footpaths and cycle ways and with a fascinating array of wildlife for those interested in natural history. Much of the uplands of Moray lie within the Cairngorms National Park, while on the coast there are nature reserves of national and local status and beautiful beaches.

You must hold a degree/diploma or equivalent qualification in Occupational Therapy. You must also be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
