Occupational Therapist Assistants X 2
Hackney is one of the most dynamic and progressive local authorities in the UK. We are a resilient, vibrant, and creative borough in the heart of London, with strong, diverse communities and a powerful set of shared values.
Over the past twenty years, the Council has built up first-class services, outstanding public infrastructure, and a reputation for excellence, innovation, and ambition. We are leading the way on essential work such as our fight for equity in Hackney with a particular focus on becoming an actively anti-racist borough. But the work doesn’t stop there, we are proactive in our approach to bringing fairness to all aspects of life including gender, neurodiversity and across the poverty divide.
The Occupational Therapist Assistant will join Hackney’s new Reablement Team, currently based within the Integrated Discharge Service. This team supports residents who have been discharged from hospital and can benefit from reablement, working alongside them as they are discharged from hospital. The aim of the team is to support residents regain their independence and confidence by providing practical support with their care needs, whether they are living in their own homes or staying in the new Reablement Assessment Flats.
You’ll be part of a collaborative service that works closely with families, carers and partner agencies to make sure residents feel supported every step of the way.
As an Occupational Therapist Assistant you will support Hackney residents to live more independently by carrying out strengths-based assessments, equipment reviews and follow-up visits under the guidance of a qualified OT. You’ll recommend and arrange specialist equipment, minor home adaptations and mobility support such as Blue Badges or Tech Enabled Living, ensuring all interventions are safe, effective and meet legislative requirements.
Working closely with residents, carers and a range of professionals, you will promote wellbeing, identify risks, and provide clear advice or signposting to other services.
The role includes accurate record-keeping on the council’s IT systems, preparing clear reports, and managing your caseload with good time management and professional standards.
Holding an accredited Trusted Assessor qualification and experience of carrying out occupational therapy assessments and recommending practical solutions that promote independence will be an advantage but not essential. As well as being confident in applying the Care Act and related legislation, you may have a strong working knowledge of specialist equipment, home adaptations, Tech Enabled Living and assistive technology.
You can make sound clinical decisions, manage your own caseload and record work clearly on case management systems.
Skilled in communicating complex information with residents, carers and professionals, you build positive relationships across a wide range of organisations. A commitment to strength-based, person-centred practice, continuous professional development and high professional standards is essential.
An enhanced DBS is required.
As a Council, our most outstanding asset is our staff, who are highly dedicated to serving our residents and committed to our goals as an organisation.
If you want to work in a place where you can represent our values so we achieve the best for our residents, please click on the apply button below.
We operate a fair and open anonymous selection process. Therefore, we do not accept supporting statements or CV’s.
To proceed with your application, you will need to create an account and submit your application.
As part of the application process, you will need to complete a number of competency based questions. These questions allow you to demonstrate your suitability for the role and provide examples of your skills, knowledge and experience outlined in the job description.
We understand the benefits of using AI in the workplace. However, if you are thinking of using this tool to submit your application, we ask you to think about what value it will add. AI tools tend to lack the personal touch and authenticity we value in candidates. We encourage you to showcase your unique knowledge and skills using your own voice.
This application process replaces a supporting statement.
Closing date for applications: 03 December 2025 (22:59)
Interview and assessment date: W/C 15 December 2025
We are also working towards our vision, which is to be a place for everyone; where residents and staff can be proud; a place that celebrates diversity and where everyone can feel valued, included and involved. In order to achieve this, we look for people who are: Proud; Ambitious; Pioneering; Open; Proactive; Inclusive.
Hackney Council works to eradicate discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. We also recognise that people can be disadvantaged by their social and economic circumstances, so we will also work to eliminate discrimination and disadvantage caused by social class. We also welcome those interested in flexible working. We particularly welcome applications from disabled people, as this group is currently under represented in our workforce.
The Council has a dedicated employment support service (Hackney Works), which offers Hackney residents guidance in relation to applying for jobs. If you are thinking about applying for a job, please contact the Hackney Works team to find out what support is available:&nbsp;<a href="mailto:hackneyworks@hackney.gov.uk" target="_blank">hackneyworks@hackney.gov.uk</a>.
