Nottinghamshire County Council recognises the essential contribution which Occupational Therapists make towards supporting people to live their lives as independently as possible.

We are looking for a qualified Occupational Therapist to join our MIS North Nottinghamshire Team, covering Bassetlaw and Newark. Our team includes Promoting Independence Workers, Service Advisers, Community Care Officers, Occupational Therapists, Social Worker and supportive management. In overseeing the person’s journey and as part of the MIS, you will have access to colleagues who provide direct service and support provision.

The Maximising Independence Service (MIS) is focused on early resolution, prevention and promoting independence and well-being. The service embeds a Strength Based Approach in everyday practice in line with the departments Adult Social Care Strategy and the Care Act 2014. The aim of the service is to help people to maximise their independence as much as possible by providing information, advice, and guidance, setting short-term goals, and identifying support to achieve those goals.

This Could Include

  • Signposting to community support
  • Equipment and minor adaptations
