Occupational therapist for Accessible Transport Unit

The Accessible Transport Unit (ATU) deals with applications for Freedom Passes, Blue Badges and Taxi cards. Part of the assessment process involves either a face to face or paper based mobility assessment to be carried out by an Occupational Therapist to determine whether eligibility criteria is met. Business and Customer Services are looking to outsource this function. We are currently dealing with approximately 1,000 assessments per year, although this can vary.
