What our occupational therapists say about working for Positive Step….

“I have the best job in the world. I work with a fantastic team of dedicated OTs who support one another on a daily basis with the attitude of ‘there is no such thing as a silly question’, where each day I have the opportunity to spend time with amazing individuals within my caseload and provide quality interventions in the knowledge that the provision of a holistic service is the foundation of Positive Step and that I am able to manage my own work-life balance with flexible working hours which is a game changer when you have two young kids! I genuinely tell everyone “I work with the best team in the world” because it is true.”
