My younger sister has been accepted to study OT at University (2 year degree course). She has a background in dental nursing. She’s seen a post on Facebook today from a graduating OT saying that there’s no jobs available for graduates, and the comments underneath are echoing this sentiment.

How much truth is there in this? We want to ensure that she will be likely to get a good role after graduating (Band 5 or equivalent). She’s considering switching to another course such as Podiatry if not.

I am an SLT for context, I see a lot of job adverts for OTs pop up when searching for SLT roles- but most of these appear to be Band 6 or specialist level. We live in North East England.

Thank you!
