Occupational Therapy and Vocational Rehabilitation Services

Ability Occupational Therapy provide solutions that enable employees to remain in work or return to work after injury, illness or long-term disability.

Occupational Therapists adopt a ‘whole person’ approach. We are trained to assess and treat physical conditions, mental health, and cognition and focus on how these impairments impact participation in daily life, including work. Environment assessment and task analysis are core skills of an Occupational Therapist. This unique skill-set is invaluable in completing a comprehensive vocational assessment that considers ALL factors which may be affecting an employee’s ability to do their job. 

Employee safety at work remains at the forefront of all workplace assessments and throughout the provision of vocational rehabilitation services.

Pauline Robinson

BSC (HONS) OT, PGC PAIN, PGC Ergonomics

I am an Occupational Therapist with specialist expertise in Vocational Rehabilitation. I work with individuals who are struggling to stay in work, or re-enter the world of work due to ill-health or injury. 

I have over 14 years experience working as an Occupational Therapist with a range of health conditions in a number of settings including hospitals, schools and multidisciplinary clinics.

I am committed to providing a high quality service to employees and employers, providing guidance on how to support an employee at work and/or providing advice on how to facilitate a return to work after a period of illness absence.

 
 
 

 “The feedback from clients you have worked with is very positive and your thorough approach aligns with our own views of ergonomics”
