Occupational Therapy in the Workplace
The focus of Occupational Therapy in the workplace is providing a comprehensive assessment to support people to remain or return to work either after a period of sickness or whilst living with a long term condition. This therefore improves the person's quality of life but also reduces the pressure on employer's knowing their employee is getting high quality advice.
An Occupational Therapist is a registered health and social care professional, who specialises in supporting people to be able to do the things they need to and want to do. This could be through providing advice about equipment, pain management, mental health wellbeing and techniques to make carrying out everyday tasks a lot easier.
We can offer assessments and recommendations for:
- Reasonable adjustments within the workplace for someone with a long term condition.
- Advice regarding return to work after a period of time off sick.
- Support completing a work based plan to support a person to remain at work.
- Advice on suitable equipment.
- Through assessment of a person's ability to carry out tasks at home and at work, with recommendations to improve health and wellbeing.
- Work with people who have both physical and / or mental health needs.
- Provide practical advice and rehabilitation to support someone to be able to return to work.
- Training with regards to sensory needs, physical disability and mental health.
- Generic health and wellbeing advice.
