Message

At Independent living service- Wolverhampton council, I carried out comprehensive functional assessments and recommended aids, adaptations, and interventions to support independence, safety, and wellbeing. I also joined the triage team, screening referrals and identifying risks while clients waited for assessment.

At Birmingham City Council, I assessed people for house adaptations, Disabled Facilities Grant support, specialist equipment, and enablement programmes. I worked with a caseload of at least 26 cases per month and identified occupational therapy goals and graded interventions.

Across clinical placements and later roles, I worked in neurology, rheumatology, adult mental health, trauma and rehabilitation, and disability assessment. I’m HCPC registered and committed to ongoing professional development and evidence-based practice.
