Are you passionate about making a positive and lasting difference for the people of Bristol?

Guidant Global are recruiting a full-time temporary Occupational Therapist within the Swift Response Team on behalf of Bristol City Council.

The role of an Occupational Therapist in social care is varied and practitioners build skills across a range of disciplines working with us.

We welcome applications from experienced practitioners with the opportunity to follow career progression pathways into advanced grade or management roles.


You will have supervisions from experienced and very supportive colleagues, and opportunities for training and continuous professional development activities.

This is a hybrid role with the expectation of at least 1 day per week working in the office based at Temple Street.

You will be expected to undertake home visits to service users at high risk, preventing carer breakdown, preventing hospital admission, moving & handling risk assessments and intervention. You will need to work alongside Social Workers, however some of your caseload may need to be managed alone.
