Working with Rehabilitate Therapy Ltd
Rehabilitate Therapy is a family-owned, and independent, occupational therapy assessment and rehabilitation service. We are always keen to talk to occupational therapists who share our passion for being a ‘real OT’ – extremely client centred, and goal focussed. We are a community of over 60 OTs (and with OTAs) and have a great team ethos and atmosphere – our OTs are both autonomous and empowered but also supported and developed.
We empathise with and understand both the attraction and apprehensions OTs feel regarding independent OT – as this has been all of our journey also. To support this, we have produced Option Too to demystify independent OT and help you to have a clearer perspective.
We are a wide ranging, and community based, occupational therapy service with over 200 clients / patients primarily across the North and Midlands, in the UK - we are however extending into other areas of the UK. Our service is extremely comprehensive, throughout the age ranges, and neuro, orthopaedic, poly trauma, housing / adaptation, pain, and also hands / scar.
Our referrals, typically, come from solicitors and case managers for clients / patients within or after the medico legal process. We are an assessment and rehabilitation service (not expert witness) and as a Rehabilitate OT you would be working autonomously (but with considerable support and backup) in MDTs for each of your clients.
Please watch the ‘Hello’ video from our Clinical Director Dr Kate Heward. Also please watch the second video where some of our OTs share their views on working with Rehabilitate Therapy Ltd.
Our OTs often combine their Rehabilitate work with for example NHS, Statutory Services, case management, expert witness, rehabilitation provider (non OT), equipment supplier, locum work on a routine basis.
We are very focussed upon ensuring that the OTs who work with us are not just financially rewarded but also really value (and even enjoy) the support, community, and learning / development. Therefore, always want to continue working with Rehabilitate Therapy.
