We are currently looking for occupational therapists to join our team to help address our growing waiting list. There are 2 roles available with a focus on different caseloads:


Autism and sensory processing: The ideal applicant will have post-graduate Ayres Sensory Integration qualifications and experience assessing and working with children from 2 years old. The role will focus on assessment of children in clinic and at school. Following assessment, the therapist will follow these children up and provide intervention at school in line with EHCP provision or in clinic.


School based occupational performance, DCD and developmental delay: This role is suited to a therapist with some experience working with children who would like to develop their skills in caseload management and provision of intervention. A new graduate therapist with experience working with children outside of OT or during student placements would also be considered. ASI qualifications are not necessary for this role.
