At Ascendancy Partnership Trust, our mission is to provide the best possible education and therapeutic support for children and young people with additional complex needs both in special and mainstream schools.
As a newly developing therapies hub, we aim to provide high-quality, student-centred therapeutic services that are seamlessly integrated into everyday school life and curriculum.

Reporting to the Head of the Therapy Hub, you will operationally plan and deliver the Physio-therapy service, providing support to our teaching staff as well as lead on providing clinical supervision for assistants and therapists across the trust as our team expands.
