About This Role
Occupational Therapist
We are seeking a dedicated and experienced Occupational Therapist to join our vibrant Additional Educational Needs (AEN) department. In this pivotal role, you will provide specialist support across the full developmental spectrum, from our youngest learners in Early Years to young adults in Year 13, ensuring every student has the tools to thrive and progress within the school environment. We believe that early intervention will best help the needs of our students, so the majority of time will be spent working with primary aged children. You will work collaboratively with teachers using a consulting approach to integrate suitable strategies to support students’ daily learning. As a key member of our AEN team, you will collaborate alongside learning support teachers and fellow specialists to deliver holistic, child-centered care and support.
Prior experience working as an Occupational Therapist, specifically within an educational setting, is desirable.
