Occupational Therapist – Southampton – Community

Join Our Growing Team at Medella Home Physio & OT

Medella Home Physio & OT is a private physiotherapy and occupational therapy service, dedicated to providing high-quality rehabilitation to our clients in a community setting. We want to bring expert care directly to where it’s needed most — our clients’ homes.

We are looking for an experienced and compassionate Occupational Therapist to join our friendly, dedicated team.

Why Join Us?

• Flexible schedule — Set your own hours and enjoy a great work-life balance
• Autonomy — Work independently while being part of a supportive team
• Rewarding work — Make a real difference to people’s lives in their own homes
• Competitive pay — Plus travel reimbursement for journeys over 6 miles from your home

About the Role

This is a really varied role but any work you take on will be within your scope of practice. Examples of the work involved are:

• Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments — managing frailty, falls and anything else that’s needed
• Functional Rehabilitation — enabling our clients to maximise their independence and quality of life
• Neuro Rehabilitation
• Housing and Equipment — assessing, advising and arranging for housing needs, adaptations and equipment
• Seating, Wheelchair and Postural Management — assessment and advice to individuals and organisations
• Independent Assessments — in cases of review, complaint or potential litigation
• Mental Health — anxiety management and managing memory problems

We aim to keep your caseload as local as possible, and travel reimbursements apply for journeys beyond 6 miles.

Please note: This is a self-employed role, which may not suit everyone. If you’re unsure, we’d be happy to discuss the details with you.
