What to expect as a TOTP Neuro Rehab OT
Our neurological occupational therapy team have a variety of clinical experience and varying capacity for private work. Some of the team are fully independent whereas others split their time between private work and their statutory roles.
Once you become an OT Practice therapist you will have an introductory call with one of our client management team (who are also OT's). They will get to know your clinical skill set, experience and the sort of cases that you are comfortable with and will allocate work to you based on this. We see a wide range of clients with a variety of rehabilitation needs and goals. From memory, cognition and behaviour management, to activity planning and regaining independence in every day life, our team provide holisitic OT intervention for as long as the client requires.
We will always speak to you before allocating work and the office team are here to support you with your cases as needed.
You manage your own diary and work load, booking appointments at times to suit you and your clients. We agree your geographical coverage at the start of joining us, on average our team would be travelling an hour from home for appointments.
