Caritas Recruitment is seeking a dedicated Occupational Therapist to join Haringey Council for an initial 3-month contract.

• Deliver therapeutic interventions to improve daily living skills, including mobility, self-care, and domestic tasks.
• Collect and deliver small equipment (e.g., bath boards, toilet frames, commodes) from a Haringey P store and demonstrate how to use it safely.
