Ready to take the next step in your OT journey? Join our friendly and forward-thinking Community Rehab and Falls Team as a Band 6 Occupational Therapist, where no two days are the same.
You’ll be working at the heart of our South London communities, using your clinical expertise to empower adults to live safely, independently, and with purpose in their own homes.

From financial wellbeing and career development, to recognition initiatives and work-life balance support, we’re committed to helping you thrive both professionally and personally.
As part of King’s Health Partners, one of the UK’s leading centres for hospital and community-based care, research, and education, you’ll have access to outstanding training and development opportunities.
