Occupational Therapist and experienced leader, Claire Lowther, has been appointed to the new role of Clinical Lead at The Occupational Therapy Service.

Claire qualified as an occupational therapist in 2004 and before joining The Occupational Therapy Service in 2023, spent most of her career working in adult and children’s social care. She has successfully worked in leadership roles in several local authorities in the north of England.  Claire has been an associate of The Occupational Therapy Service for a number of years and therefore has been instilling the values of the company for some time.

As Clinical Lead, Claire will be responsible for clinical excellence and quality assurance. All output from The Occupational Therapy Service, whether that is related to client caseloads, consultative recommendations or the provision of training, will have a consistent ‘stamp of authority’ from Claire – ensuring content is of the utmost standards. This is a responsibility that Claire is relishing as she says: “I’m delighted to be working for The Occupational Therapy Service. They are an incredible group of people with such a diverse range of skills.  I already know the reports submitted to other professionals such as case managers are of the highest standards and I will be ensuring these standards are embedded across all clinical intervention. I want to further the respected reputation of The Occupational Therapy Service as the leading provider of independent occupational therapy.”

Alongside her occupational therapy qualifications, Claire is ADOS approved which is an internationally recognised standard for assessing autism. Claire will be using her knowledge in this field to further raise standards for intervention for autistic people across children, young people and adults. Through The Occupational Therapy Service, Claire will continue to provide an interim management role for a local authority occupational therapy team, support a selective client caseload and work closely with Clinical Director, Lucy Leonard.

In conclusion Claire adds: “I just love what The Occupational Therapy Service stands for. I fully believe in the ethos of the company and am 100% committed to the vision of the directors. In my opinion, there is no better independent provider of occupational therapy that can deliver the breadth and depth of clinical, educational and commercial expertise.”
