Occupational Therapy Services for Housing Adaptation Grants – Limerick City and County Council

Limerick City and County Council seeks occupational therapy services to support the administration of four housing grant schemes: Housing Adaptation Grant Scheme, Mobility Aid Grant Scheme, Housing Aid for Older Persons Scheme, and Disabled Person's Grant Scheme. These schemes, regulated under the Housing (Adaptation Grants for Older People and Disabled People) Regulations 2024, provide financial assistance for home modifications to accommodate persons with disabilities. Disability is defined as an enduring physical, sensory, mental health, or intellectual impairment. Occupational therapists will conduct assessments and produce professional reports evaluating whether proposed works are appropriate and necessary for the long-term accommodation needs of grant applicants. These reports inform prioritization decisions and ensure recommended adaptations align with individual disability-related requirements. Qualified occupational therapy practitioners with relevant experience in housing assessments and disability accommodation are sought to deliver this essential service.
