Occupational Therapist

Occupational therapists help people of all ages overcome physical, mental or social difficulties that prevent them from carrying out everyday activities. This can include helping patients recover from injuries, manage long-term health conditions, or adapt to disabilities. Occupational therapists assess patients needs, develop treatment plans, and work with individuals to improve their ability to perform daily tasks such as dressing, cooking or working. They often work as part of multidisciplinary teams in hospitals, community health centres, schools or clients homes. The role requires strong communication skills, empathy and the ability to motivate and encourage people.
