You didn’t choose Occupational Therapy by accident — you want to help people thrive.
This role gives you the chance to do exactly that.
We’re working with schools across Tyne and Wear who are looking for Occupational Therapy graduates to support pupils with SEND in a classroom environment.
Your day-to-day:
* Supporting pupils with sensory needs and emotional regulation
* Helping children engage with learning in a way that works for them
* Encouraging independence through small, achievable steps
* Working alongside teachers and SENCOs
* Building strong, trusting relationships with pupils
Why schools value you:
* You see beyond behaviour
* You understand individual needs
* You bring structure and calm
* You focus on progress, not perfection
What you’ll gain:
* Hands‑on experience with a wide range of needs
* Confidence in applying your OT knowledge
* A strong stepping stone into future roles
* A role where every day feels meaningful
