About the role
We are seeking an enthusiastic, creative, and motivated Occupational Therapist to join our expanding multi-disciplinary team and working primarily in school settings with potential for clinic and remote based work.
As an Occupational Therapist, you will play a vital role in unlocking students' potential by assessing their needs for Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and providing specialised interventions.

The role also involves evaluating intervention effectiveness, providing training and upskilling to key adults, and maintaining accurate documentation. The therapist will actively participate in multidisciplinary meetings to ensure coordinated care for children and young people with complex needs.
