Band 7 Occupational Therapist Jobs in the NHS

Band 7 posts include clinical nurse specialists, ward managers, team leaders, advanced practitioners, and highly specialist therapists. Applications at this level need evidence of leadership, service improvement, and specialist expertise beyond day-to-day clinical work. For occupational therapist candidates, this usually means matching the advertised responsibilities to your evidence before applying: the same band can cover different service settings, rota patterns, and levels of supervision across NHS employers.
