Those Huge Small Victories

Get out what you put in
This role is split across Oakwood Learning Centre as well as Elmbank Learning Centre.
Our clinicians are a crucial part of the most joined-up model in SEND.

Our Occupational Therapists work collaboratively within our schools and children’s homes, ensuring that therapeutic support permeates every aspect of the education, care, and support we offer. You will provide consultation, workshops, training, and guidance to the educational and residential teams around our children.
