The posting

A leading independent specialist school supporting pupils with ACEs, SEMH needs and associated SEND is seeking a dedicated and skilled Occupational Therapist to join their therapy team. This is an opportunity to make significant, meaningful impact within a school that places relationships, trauma‑informed practice, and therapeutic support at the centre of everything it does.

The Role

You will be the on‑site therapeutic lead for Occupational Therapy, delivering 1:1 sessions, group interventions, classroom support, and environmental adaptations. Working collaboratively with teachers, families, and external professionals including CAMHS, you’ll ensure pupils receive high‑quality, ethical, and holistic OT provision.

Key Responsibilities Include:

  • Building strong, relational connections with pupils with ACEs, trauma backgrounds, SEMH needs and complex SEND
  • Planning and delivering structured OT interventions alongside flexible “need‑it‑now” support
  • Providing in‑class OT guidance, modelling trauma‑informed and sensory‑informed strategies
  • Setting up and maintaining a calm, purposeful OT/therapy space
  • Completing functional assessments, sensory assessments, OT reports and progress reviews
  • Tracking SEMH and functional development using the school’s assessment framework
  • Liaising with external professionals including CAMHS and social care
  • Delivering OT‑focused training and refreshers for staff
  • Supporting reintegration, transitions and key developmental milestones
  • Building supportive, positive relationships with families, including regular communication
  • Upholding safeguarding, confidentiality, and all relevant policies

About You

  • Degree‑level, fully qualified Occupational Therapist with HCPC registration (essential)
  • Experience working with children or young people in SEMH/SEND or challenging settings
  • Strong communication and organisational skills
  • Excellent understanding of child development, sensory needs, trauma, attachment, and mental health
  • Confident working independently while collaborating fully as part of a multidisciplinary team
  • Emotionally resilient, reflective, and passionate about helping young people thrive

Desirable: Additional training in sensory integration, trauma, SEND, or child mental health.

Why This School?

  • Strong, embedded relationships-first therapeutic model
  • Multidisciplinary, supportive, values-led environment
  • Real scope to influence whole‑school OT practice
  • Ongoing CPD, reflective practice and professional development
  • A role where your OT expertise truly transforms outcomes

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
