Vocational Rehabilitation
At Smart Rehabilitation, we recognise that vocation is often at the core of a client’s goals. Supporting clients across Sheffield, Lincolnshire and South Humber, our occupational therapists deliver vocational rehabilitation that considers each individual's physical, cognitive, sensory and psychosocial needs when exploring appropriate employment or vocational opportunities.
Vocational rehabilitation can be provided as a standalone service or integrated into a wider rehabilitation programme. Using a holistic occupational therapy approach, we consider the person, their environment and the occupational demands of their role to support a safe and meaningful return to work or other vocational activities.
This approach highlights our expert skills in supporting clients to:
-
Overcome obstacles to return to work
-
Consider transferrable skills to another meaningful role or occupation
-
Promote independence and quality of life
-
Support liaison with employers and advocate reasonable adjustments
-
Support consideration of education and integration into educational environments


Our assessment includes:
-
Job demands analysis (physical, cognitive, sensory, psychosocial)
-
Worksite assessments (ergonomics, accessibility)
-
Interviews exploring goals, routines, habits, and past work experience
-
Transferable skills analysis
Embedded within this assessment is the consideration of pre-vocational skills; this is core to ensuring an appropriate approach. Such interventions may include a programme of rehabilitation addressing client needs and goals to circumvent difficulties and overcome barriers to meaningful vocation.
