• Clinical Lead Occupational Therapist

  • Jul 2021 - Aug 2022

  I held the Lead Occupational Therapist post in a Level 2 neuro rehab unit. The service opened in 2020 so there was a significant amount of service development, establishing processes, and training and upskilling colleagues new to rehab. I supervised a team of senior OTs as well as assistant practitioners and rehab assistants. I left the role due to the commute, and also wanting to keep my focus on my clinical skills rather than managerial.
