Supporting the Supporters: How Forbes Care Empowers Our Occupational Therapists

At Forbes Care, we believe that empowering our clients starts with supporting the people who care for them — our Occupational Therapists.

Clinical skill is only part of the picture. Delivering meaningful, person-centred care also requires curiosity, confidence, reflection, and strong connections. That’s why we’ve built a workplace where therapists can grow their knowledge, feel supported in their practice, and work alongside a team that shares their commitment to making a difference.

Our approach to staff development reflects the values we live by: a willingness to learn, a commitment to empowering others, striving for excellence, being one team, and ensuring everyone feels safe to practice.

Clinical Supervision That Builds Confidence

We provide regular, structured clinical supervision led by experienced senior OTs. These sessions are a space for reflective practice, skill development, and thoughtful discussion — where therapists are encouraged to ask questions, unpack complex situations, and continue growing in their clinical reasoning.

Supervision at Forbes Care isn’t just about oversight — it’s about creating a space where team members feel safe to practice, and where excellence is nurtured through support, not pressure.

Peer-Led Training Grounded in Real Life

Every month, our team comes together for peer-led training sessions focused on practical topics like life skills, capacity building, and person-centred intervention strategies.

These sessions reflect our “we are one team” value in action — sharing knowledge across regions, learning from one another’s experiences, and lifting the collective skillset of the team.

Professional Development That Evolves With You

Our therapists have access to a wide range of internal and external professional development opportunities. From trauma-informed care and sensory processing to neuro-affirming practice and communication strategies, we encourage continuous learning that’s led by passion and purpose.

This reflects our deep willingness to grow and evolve — not just as individual clinicians, but as a responsive and reflective service.

A Culture of Kindness, Curiosity, and Collaboration

Perhaps most importantly, Forbes Care is a place where therapists feel connected. We value curiosity, kindness, and transparency, and we celebrate the everyday wins — not just the big ones.

Our culture is one of collaboration, where team members support each other through the highs and lows of community practice. Whether it’s a shared laugh, a phone call to debrief, or a moment of encouragement, we walk alongside each other — not ahead or behind.

Why It Matters

Because when Occupational Therapists feel equipped, encouraged, and connected, they’re free to do what they do best — support clients with clarity, compassion, and creativity.

At Forbes Care, we’re proud to be building a team that reflects the values we stand for — a team that’s always growing, always learning, and always putting people first.
