We have three exciting tender opportunities available for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) or independent consultants interested in shaping the future of occupational therapy and occupational therapy education.
There’s a tender for you if:
- you're seeking an opportunity to lead nationally and shape the review of our learning and development standards for pre-registration education
- you’re interested in undertaking a piece of research to identify the enablers and barriers to placement capacity and quality
- or you would like to support the delivery of our Workforce Strategy and a wider programme of work led by our Professional Development team through leading the creation and implementation of a ‘Complexity of Occupation’ lecture series.
Each tender has a different deadline for proposal submission.
For all opportunities we’re actively encouraging those from historically under-recognised and excluded groups to apply (such as those who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ communities, racially minoritised communities or those living with a disability or long-term condition). We are committed to the project team being as diverse as possible.
