Occupational Therapist

A local specialist school is currently seeking an Occupational Therapist with experience in paediatric practice to join their dedicated therapies team.

This school offers primary-aged pupils with complex presentations – including SLD, PMLD, ASD and/or multi-sensory needs – a curiosity-filled and ambitious environment to develop their confidence, independence, and a real and lasting passion for learning.

As an Occupational Therapist, you will join a strong multidisciplinary team in assessing, delivering and developing specialist interventions that meet each child’s individual needs as identified on their EHCP.

You will support pupils to develop the functional, sensory, motor and self-care skills required to maximise their participation in learning and everyday school life, while also providing advice, guidance and training to staff and families to promote a consistent therapeutic approach across settings.

Working collaboratively with fellow therapists, teachers, partners and parents, you will help pupils overcome barriers to learning, increase their independence, enhance their engagement in school activities, and ultimately improve their overall quality of life.

This is a permanent, position over term-time + 3 weeks (42 weeks per year).
