Occupational Therapist

Are you a passionate Occupational Therapist looking to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and young people? Renaissance Education is seeking a compassionate and innovative Occupational Therapist to join our growing Multidisciplinary Clinical Team within our specialist therapeutic schools. This is an exciting opportunity to use your expertise to help pupils overcome barriers to learning, develop independence and achieve their full potential in a nurturing, child-centred environment.

Working closely with teachers, psychologists, speech and language therapists, families and external professionals, you'll provide high-quality occupational therapy assessments and evidence-based interventions for children with a range of needs, including Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), sensory processing differences, developmental trauma, attachment needs and other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). You'll develop personalised therapy programmes, contribute to Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), provide specialist advice and training to colleagues, and help embed therapeutic strategies throughout the school day to create environments where every child can thrive.

This is more than a clinical role, it's an opportunity to shape therapeutic practice across the school and be part of an integrated approach where education and therapy work hand in hand. You'll manage your own specialist caseload, contribute to multidisciplinary planning, support service development and work collaboratively to ensure occupational therapy is fully embedded within the curriculum and wider school community. Every intervention you deliver will help pupils build confidence, independence and the skills they need to succeed both in school and beyond.

We're looking for an HCPC-registered Occupational Therapist who is creative, resilient and passionate about improving outcomes for children with SEND. In return, you'll join a supportive and ambitious organisation that values innovation, collaboration and continuous professional development, giving you the opportunity to grow your career while making a meaningful impact on the lives of children, families and colleagues every day., Successful applicants will be required to demonstrate their commitment to safeguarding and child-centred practice throughout the recruitment process and during their employment with Renaissance Education.
