Job description

Join to apply for the Specialist Occupational Therapist role at Active Neuro

Active Neuro, the specialist division of Active Care Group, is redefining neurorehabilitation in the UK—and we’re looking for two passionate Band 6 level Occupational Therapists to join our Nottingham team. You’ll work with adults with acquired or traumatic brain injury, neurological conditions, and complex needs, helping them regain independence, confidence, and quality of life.

Our OTs work across NHS, private, and medicolegal pathways, without being limited to short‑term programmes. This means you can set long‑term, meaningful goals that really matter to patients—whether that’s enjoying a morning walk with friends, preparing a favourite meal, returning to a creative hobby, or spending time in the garden independently.

What makes this role exciting:

• Diverse caseloads: from neurological conditions to polytrauma, amputations, and catastrophic injuries
• Innovative tech: utilise equipment such as Luna Robotic EMG, Exo Motus, and Arm Motus to enhance therapy outcomes
• Integrated care: work across inpatient and outpatient services, providing continuity for patients in the community
• Shape the service: contribute to innovation, service development, and patient‑centred practice
• Cross‑divisional working – opportunities in case management, care in the home, and collaboration across Active Neuro sites
• Professional growth: access personalised CPD, from functional upper and lower limb rehabilitation, cognitive and perceptual retraining, and activities of daily living (ADL) recovery, to splinting, adaptive equipment, environmental modifications, and neuropsychologically‑informed interventions
• Supportive network: connect with peers across Active Neuro, share learning, and benefit from mentorship
• External engagement: opportunities to attend conferences and collaborate with organisations such as Headway and the Spinal Injuries Association

The role:

• Deliver high‑quality, evidence‑based occupational therapy interventions for patients with complex neurological, polytrauma, and catastrophic injuries.
• Contribute to the development and improvement of OT services, bringing ideas and innovation to support patient‑centred care.
• Provide guidance and support to junior staff and students, sharing knowledge and fostering best practice.
• Participate in quality improvement initiatives, outcome measurement, and clinical governance activities.
• Incorporate specialist rehabilitation technologies, such as Luna, Exo Motus, and Arm Motus, into daily practice to enhance functional recovery.
• Keep people safe from harm and protect their human rights.

About you:

• Holds HCPC registration as an Occupational Therapist.
• Has experience in neurorehabilitation or complex care, including acquired or traumatic brain injury (ABI/TBI).
• Demonstrates strong clinical reasoning and person‑centred practice, helping patients achieve meaningful goals.
• Works effectively within a multidisciplinary team, contributing ideas and supporting colleagues.
• Has a passion for improving patient care and service development, bringing creativity and innovation to their practice.
• Successful candidates will be required to undergo an enhanced DBS.

We also want to ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable facilities to participate in job applications or interviews to perform essential job functions. To support this, we are a Disability Confident employer.

What to look forward to:

• Birthday off
• Join the Active Learning Hub and benefit from a wide range of e learning and face to face training and development opportunities
• Active Reward App giving discounts and savings on your weekly shop
• Free 24 hour confidential Employee Assistance Programme Helpline & App to support with legal, health, wellbeing, relationship and consumer advice
