About the Role
We are seeking an enthusiastic, creative, and motivated Paediatric Occupational Therapist to join our expanding multi-disciplinary team, primarily working in school settings with potential for clinic and remote-based work.
As a Paediatric 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.

A key function is equipping key adults in that young person's life with the skills to confidently support them in achieving their therapy goals.
In your role, you will conduct comprehensive assessments of a child or young person's various developmental or learning needs for EHCPs, develop and implement individualised intervention plans, collaborate with teachers, parents, and other professionals to integrate these goals into the child’s daily environment, evaluate intervention effectiveness, provide training and upskilling to key adults, maintain accurate documentation, and actively participate in multidisciplinary meetings to ensure coordinated care for children and young people with complex needs.
