What does an RCOT network volunteering journey look like? 

You’re at the start of an exciting journey with us. You’ll have the opportunity to lead, grow and bring our community of dedicated and knowledgeable OTs together. RCOT will support you throughout this journey. 

 

Relevant leadership roles for our new networks – where can you make an impact? 

Our new practice, professional and regional networks have different purposes and require a different mix of roles to make them a success. 

Practice networks 

Practice networks aim to bring together our members from across backgrounds, career levels and sectors with a shared interest in an area of practice and to support member’s professional lives. 

By joining a practice network, you’ll have access to a shared online space to meet and connect with others, share resources and access learning and development opportunities. 

 

Regional networks 

Regional networks bring local OT communities together so we connect, coordinate activities and discuss issues that are relevant to your local area or nation.  

Will you be a Lead or a Coordinator? 

Lead and coordinator roles are both guided by the Career Development Framework and intentionally serve different purposes. 

Both serve important roles and are vital to the success of our networks. 

  • Lead roles – strategic, focusing on vision and direction. 
  • Coordinator roles – operational, ensuring effective implementation of activities.
