Neighbourhood Health, Occupational Therapist
Sport for Confidence View all jobs
Posted 27 day(s) ago
Reference: 2423270
Job summary
To lead the development and delivery of an innovative Neighbourhood Health Occupational Therapy model across Castle Point, working collaboratively with local residents, health and social care professionals, leisure providers, voluntary organisations and community partners to reduce health inequalities and improve access to meaningful occupations, physical activity and community participation.
The Occupational Therapist will play a key role in connecting health services with community opportunities, supporting individuals who experience barriers to participation, particularly those living with disabilities, multiple long-term health conditions, poor mental wellbeing, social isolation or other complex health and social needs.
Using core Occupational Therapy skills, clinical reasoning and an occupation-focused approach, the role will provide holistic assessments, co-produced action planning and short-term therapeutic interventions to understand what matters to people, identify barriers to participation and enable individuals to access opportunities that support their health, wellbeing, independence and sense of belonging.
The overarching ambition is to demonstrate how Occupational Therapy, embedded within neighbourhoods and communities, can strengthen prevention, reduce inequalities and create more connected, accessible and sustainable opportunities for people to participate in meaningful activity and community life.
Main duties of the job
Occupational Therapy Assessment and Intervention
- Deliver holistic, person-centred Occupational Therapy assessments to understand individuals' strengths, aspirations, needs and barriers to meaningful participation.
- Manage referrals, assess risk and prioritise individuals requiring support, particularly those experiencing complex health and social needs.
Community Navigation and Enablement
- Support individuals to identify and access meaningful physical activity, leisure, wellbeing and community opportunities across Castle Point.
- Provide practical navigation and confidence-building support to overcome barriers that prevent engagement.
Partnership Working and Neighbourhood Health Development
- Build strong, collaborative relationships with GP practices, Primary Care Networks, social prescribing teams, leisure providers, local authorities and voluntary and community organisations.
- Act as a clinical connector between health services and community opportunities, strengthening pathways and improving access to preventative support.
Workforce Development and Inclusive Practice
- Provide advice, consultation, formal and informal learning opportunities to local professionals, coaches, volunteers and community organisations.
- Support providers to understand barriers to participation, implement reasonable adjustments and develop more accessible and inclusive opportunities.
About us
Sport for Confidence CIC is an Occupational Therapy-led organisation that centres and prioritises the needs of people and communities furthest away from physical activity and sport. We work locally and nationally to narrow the gap in occupational, health and social outcomes, enabling people to participate in ways that are meaningful to their lives.
Our approach brings together the expertise of occupational therapists, the physical activity workforce and people with lived experience. It is person-first, occupation-focused and systems-driven, recognising the relationship between the person, their environment, occupations and participation.
Occupational therapists are central to our practice. This is occupational therapy delivered within community and physical activity settings. Occupational therapists use their professional reasoning and core occupational therapy skills to understand what matters to people, identify barriers to meaningful participation, adapt environments and opportunities, and enable people to engage in the occupations and everyday activities that support their health, wellbeing, independence and sense of belonging.
Our occupational therapists work within everyday community settings, including leisure centres, local communities and primary care. This place-based approach creates opportunities to work proactively and preventatively, address environmental and systemic barriers and support people earlier.

Job responsibilities
You will use your advanced clinical knowledge, specialist skills and clinical reasoning to assess, diagnose and manage a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, delivering individualised, evidence-based treatment programmes tailored to patients needs. You will take clinical responsibility for a designated caseload, ensuring effective organisation and prioritisation of patients according to clinical urgency, complexity and need, while making best use of available clinical time and resources. An injection therapy qualification would be advantageous; however, opportunities may be available to develop this skill as part of your ongoing professional development if you are not already qualified.
As part of our established integrated MSK team, you will have access to specialist clinical advice and support from Extended Scope Practitioners (ESPs) across upper limb, lower limb, spinal, trauma, hand, rheumatology and women's health services. You will work collaboratively with colleagues to discuss complex cases, support clinical decision-making and ensure patients receive appropriate, timely and effective care. Clinical support is also available from Band 8a ESP colleagues, including the opportunity to discuss the need for diagnostic imaging and facilitate appropriate referrals following clinical discussion. You will also work closely with the Governance and Operational teams to support safe, effective and responsive service delivery.
You will contribute to the clinical leadership and development of the wider physiotherapy team, supporting junior colleagues and students through clinical supervision, mentorship, appropriate delegation and the monitoring of clinical practice. You will be expected to provide shadowing opportunities for students and staff where appropriate, promoting knowledge sharing and the development of clinical skills across the service. Full student supervision and mentorship training can be supported through local universities where required, with additional on-site guidance available to help you become familiar with local procedures and expectations.
We are committed to supporting your ongoing clinical and professional development. You will have a named supervisor who will work with you to develop and review your personal development plan, support your appraisal and identify opportunities aligned with your individual learning needs and career aspirations. Protected clinical supervision time is provided by CDDFT, with sessions led by the supervisee to ensure discussions are relevant to your development, clinical practice and wellbeing. Pastoral support is also available through this framework, with alternative arrangements considered where appropriate to meet individual circumstances.
A range of shadowing and training opportunities is available across the service, including learning alongside consultants, A&E, plastics and specialist physiotherapy teams. These opportunities can be incorporated into your personal development plan to broaden your clinical experience, strengthen specialist knowledge and support progression towards your professional goals. The department also provides regular in-service training, access to e-Learning for Health and opportunities to attend external courses through available CPD budgets.
You will have access to our developing CDIMS physiotherapy intranet, which provides a comprehensive resource of local MSK pathways, clinical protocols, guidance and evidence-based patient information leaflets to support consistent, high-quality clinical practice.
The post holder can be considered for injection therapy as a development opportunity (if not already qualified)
Many CDIMS band 7 physiotherapists & FCPs have injection skills and are available for case discussions.
The Post holders named supervisor will support your personal development plan and the appraisal framework.

Job description
Job responsibilities
You will use your advanced clinical knowledge, specialist skills and clinical reasoning to assess, diagnose and manage a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, delivering individualised, evidence-based treatment programmes tailored to patients needs. You will take clinical responsibility for a designated caseload, ensuring effective organisation and prioritisation of patients according to clinical urgency, complexity and need, while making best use of available clinical time and resources. An injection therapy qualification would be advantageous; however, opportunities may be available to develop this skill as part of your ongoing professional development if you are not already qualified.
As part of our established integrated MSK team, you will have access to specialist clinical advice and support from Extended Scope Practitioners (ESPs) across upper limb, lower limb, spinal, trauma, hand, rheumatology and women's health services.

You will also work closely with the Governance and Operational teams to support safe, effective and responsive service delivery.

You will be expected to provide shadowing opportunities for students and staff where appropriate, promoting knowledge sharing and the development of clinical skills across the service. Full student supervision and mentorship training can be supported through local universities where required, with additional on-site guidance available to help you become familiar with local procedures and expectations.
We are committed to supporting your ongoing clinical and professional development. You will have a named supervisor who will work with you to develop and review your personal development plan, support your appraisal and identify opportunities aligned with your individual learning needs and career aspirations. Protected clinical supervision time is provided by CDDFT, with sessions led by the supervisee to ensure discussions are relevant to your development, clinical practice and wellbeing. Pastoral support is also available through this framework, with alternative arrangements considered where appropriate to meet individual circumstances.
A range of shadowing and training opportunities is available across the service, including learning alongside consultants, A&E, plastics and specialist physiotherapy teams. These opportunities can be incorporated into your personal development plan to broaden your clinical experience, strengthen specialist knowledge and support progression towards your professional goals. The department also provides regular in-service training, access to e-Learning for Health and opportunities to attend external courses through available CPD budgets.
You will have access to our developing CDIMS physiotherapy intranet, which provides a comprehensive resource of local MSK pathways, clinical protocols, guidance and evidence-based patient information leaflets to support consistent, high-quality clinical practice.
The post holder can be considered for injection therapy as a development opportunity (if not already qualified)
