Description

Are you passionate about making a real difference in people’s lives?
We’re looking for a compassionate and supportive Senior Occupational Therapist to join our Limerick and North Tipperary community. The role will have an office base in Ballinvoher, Co. Limerick.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

We’re looking for a compassionate and experienced Occupational Therapist who brings both clinical expertise and a deep commitment to person-centred care. You’ll be someone who sees beyond diagnosis — who listens, advocates, and empowers individuals with Acquired Brain Injury to rediscover their strengths and live life on their own terms.
You’ll thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with an interdisciplinary team to co-create rehabilitation plans that reflect each person’s unique journey. Your ability to carry out holistic assessments, develop tailored interventions, and offer practical solutions — from equipment advice to skill-building strategies — will be central to your success in this role.

Responsibilities

ABOUT THE ROLE:

As a Senior Occupational Therapist, you’ll be at the heart of a compassionate, interdisciplinary team dedicated to supporting adults with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) to live meaningful, empowered lives in their communities. This is more than a clinical role — it’s a chance to make a lasting impact through holistic, person-centred care.
You’ll lead on functional and therapeutic assessments, working closely with each individual to understand their goals, strengths, and needs. Your expertise will shape tailored rehabilitation programmes that reflect the values and aspirations of the people we serve. From designing interventions to advising on equipment and environmental adaptations, your input will be key to unlocking independence and dignity.
Education and training are also central to this role — you’ll share your knowledge with staff and clients alike, fostering a culture of learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement. If you’re passionate about rehabilitation, advocacy, and helping people reclaim their lives after brain injury, we’d love to hear from you.
The contract available is Specified Purpose, Part-Time, 17.5 hours. The salary is based on the HSE 2022 Senior Occupational Therapist pay scale.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

  • Working alongside individuals with Acquired Brain Injury to co-create personalised rehabilitation plans that reflect their goals, strengths, and values
  • Supporting people to build everyday living skills that promote confidence, independence, and community participation
  • Helping individuals explore meaningful vocational opportunities, return to driving, or find suitable housing that meets their needs
  • Providing education and emotional support to families and carers as they navigate life after brain injury
  • Sharing your knowledge through training and supervision, empowering staff and students to deliver person-centred care
  • Advocating for each person’s voice to be heard, linking them with local services and supports that enhance their quality of life
  • Offering practical advice on equipment and adaptations that make daily life more accessible and comfortable
  • Collaborating with healthcare teams and external partners to ensure continuity of care and shared decision-making
  • Contributing to service development by listening, learning, and helping shape programmes that truly reflect what matters to the people we serve
