Are you an experienced Specialist Occupational Therapist? Imagine every day making a significant impact on the lives of children and young adults with neurodiverse needs, many of whom have experienced trauma. This is your chance to use your skills to create meaningful change and truly make a difference.
Join us in this newly created role at The Grange where your expertise will shine! As a pivotal member of our team, you'll have the autonomy to shape the future of our occupational therapy services. You’ll collaborate with our passionate and innovative integrated therapy team to deliver the highest standard of care and support to our pupils, making a real impact every day.
In this role, you'll have the opportunity to identify and address the strengths and challenges your pupils face in their daily lives. Your efforts will make a lasting impact, fostering their growth and independence. Beyond conducting assessments, you'll be deeply involved in creating personalised therapy programs tailored to each pupil’s unique needs. This is your chance to be part of something transformative, where your expertise and dedication will empower our pupils to thrive and reach their full potential.

* Taking a Neurodiverse affirming and trauma-informed approach to clinical work, working within a small caseload of pupils who have neurodiverse needs.
* Assessing, writing indirect therapy programmes, providing advice and consultations, and delivering direct therapy.
* Working alongside the integrated therapy team, consisting of Speech and Language Therapists and Creative Art Therapists.

* A full driving licence. Whilst this role is based in a single location, travel to other sites will be required at times including travel to our Tiverton Hub for team meetings and training where required.
In return for your time, you’ll get:
* Pension scheme– Our pension scheme is based on you paying in 5%, and us adding 3%.
* Learning & Development Opportunities – We provide comprehensive learning opportunities for team members to develop themselves.
* Discounts – You’ll have access to brilliant discounts through the Blue Light Card and our own employee benefits platform.
* Wellbeing Support – Your wellbeing is always our priority. You’ll have access to mental health and wellbeing support. On top of this, our therapies team offers a monthly confidential check in clinic, and group reflective practice sessions.
* Cycle2Work -The cycle to work scheme enables you to buy a bicycle at a discounted rate.
* DBS – As this role required you to have an enhanced DBS carried out, we will cover this cost.
* After 12 months service - You’ll also be eligible for our Medicash scheme which covers a wide range of medical, health and wellbeing expenses (Including immediate access to a GP!). You’ll get life assurance paid at x2 your annual salary, and even more high street discounts.
Please note that as part of our safer recruitment processes, successful applicants will be subject to pre-employment checks including an enhanced disclosure and barring service (DBS) check, and online and social media checks, and reference validation.
At Phoenix Learning and Care, we pride ourselves on our diverse workforce, and ensuring we have an inclusive environment for all our team members. We remain committed to ensuring our teams can bring their true selves to work without risk or fear of discrimination.
