About the Role
The London Borough of Harrow is seeking a dedicated and forward-thinking Occupational Therapist to join our Adult Social Care division.

You will work within a supportive multi-disciplinary environment with professional supervision tailored to your experience. Whether working at the "front door" or within integrated locality teams, you will play a vital role in shaping positive outcomes for Harrow’s community.
