Background

About Beca Thomas

UK-qualified Occupational Therapist with over 5 years of diverse experience across complex rehab, stroke, frailty intervention, and older adult mental health (including dementia and functional cognitive disorders). Passionate about delivering functional, person-centred care that supports independence and quality of life. I’ve worked across acute hospital, community, and mental health settings — both independently and within multidisciplinary teams. I’m confident in using models like the Cognitive Disability Model and PEOP, and I’ve supervised junior OTs, contributed to service development, and led functional assessments and interventions focused on client centred goals across the full OT scope. 🦘 Currently based in Sydney, Australia, on a Working Holiday Visa and completing registration via NZ route. I’m seeking casual/contract roles that can support supervised practice. Skills & Interests: • Complex discharge & frailty intervention • Stroke and neuro rehab • Mental health OT (older adults, dementia, cognition) • Functional assessments & risk management • Supervision, training, and service development • Health & safety championing (manual handling, equipment compliance) • Fluent Welsh speaker – passionate about culturally responsive care
