As an Occupational Therapist, your role is key in supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to thrive. You’ll be responsible for assessing and providing tailored therapeutic interventions, particularly focused on sensory needs, to ensure that each child has the support they need to excel in their educational setting.

Your input will be invaluable in ensuring the right support for the children who need it most.

From working with children in schools to liaising with the SEND assessment teams, you’ll feel supported every step of the way. With hybrid working, you’ll enjoy a balance of working from home and making an impact in the community.

This role is for you if:

  • You’re passionate about supporting children with SEND and improving their outcomes.

  • You have a degree in Occupational Therapy and are HCPC registered.

  • You are seeking a Band 7 OT role in which you can work autonomously, managing your own schedule.

  • You have experience working with children with sensory needs and in the paediatric therapy space.

  • You are comfortable contributing to SEND tribunals by preparing expert statements and supporting hearings.

  • You’re a collaborative professional who enjoys working within a team of diverse experts.

You will have the tools, training, and support to thrive in this role, making a genuine difference to children’s lives. If this sounds like the opportunity you’ve been waiting for, let’s chat and discuss how you can join a passionate team making a real impact in the world of SEND.


Why this role?

  • True work/life balance – 50% remote working

  • Supportive, experienced therapy and SEND team

  • Continuous training and CPD

  • Opportunity to influence the direction of a service and make lasting impact
