Returnees do not need to take exams or retrain as they are already qualified in their profession. Returning to practice is often about regaining confidence, not competence. Return to Practice is about regaining registration to use a protected title.
If you were previously a registered Occupational Therapist and you’ve ever thought about returning to practice, now is the time to do it.
About the role
Richmond and Wandsworth Adult Social Services has strong values and a focus on improving outcomes to vulnerable adults and their carers. We understand that during the course of your career, you may not practise your profession for a period of time. This may be for many reasons, which could include parental leave, extended travel, caring responsibilities or illness. We are pleased to be able to offer the opportunity for you to return to practice within our OT Service working with adults with physical disabilities.
The HCPC requires you to have adequate skills and knowledge to practice safely and effectively. In order to return to the HCPC register, they require you to carry out a period of updating which includes a combination of private study, formal study and supervised practice. The length of your updating period will depend on how long you have been out of practice. We can offer you supervised practice to support you with completing the returning to practice programme.
