the curriculum and to promote meaningful engagement in school-based tasks. We aim to consider the holistic needs of each child when working to achieve their goals
and aspirations. You will be school based and will be responsible for assessing, planning, and delivering interventions with children individually or in small groups, in specialist therapy spaces and within classroom-based and/or functional contexts.

You will also have responsibility for the supervision of others within the team, and on leading Occupational Therapy related projects or initiatives across the school. You will be involved in training, CPD opportunities and outreach programmes.
