VSO needs experienced professionals with skills like yours.
Working and living alongside local colleagues, you will help improve

You can also expect to develop new skills during your placement,
skills such as leadership and adaptability. So on returning to
the UK you can be confident of enhancing your career prospects.
Voluntary Opportunities
We have received many requests for occupational therapists recently
and have opportunities in a variety of countries. Jobs may involve
setting up a hospital department, community services or managing
a community rehabilitation programme. Most jobs will have an element
of hands on training and the clinical instruction of other professionals.
