What Recruiters Look For

OT CVs must show your HCPC registration, client group experience, and the interventions you specialise in. Include your NHS banding, caseload size, and measurable patient outcomes.

Key Skills to Include

HCPC registration, functional assessment, cognitive rehabilitation, housing adaptations (DFG), equipment prescription, discharge planning, COPM goal setting, and manual handling training.

Common Mistakes

Not differentiating between acute and community OT experience. Include your banding level, caseload size, and the types of conditions you have most experience with. Show outcome metrics where possible.

Formatting Tips

One to two pages. Lead with HCPC registration number and current banding. Include mandatory training and any specialist postgraduate qualifications.
