What skills and experience we're looking for

As our Occupational Therapist, you will provide a highly specialist clinical service to students across the school, helping us to transform the lives of autistic children and young people.

You will be responsible for the assessment, treatment, implementation and documentation of Occupational Therapy interventions with a nominated caseload as well as being actively involved in staff training.

There will also be the opportunity to increase your knowledge and skills through participation in team and wider Trust continuing professional development programmes and practice supervision with the Trust Therapy Team.

You will have previous experience in Occupational Therapy and be able to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge and understanding of interventions relevant to students with ASD.

What the school offers its staff

The role is based at our Church Lawton School in Staffordshire. You will work 37 hours a week for 45.8 weeks of the year - salary is reduced pro rata to reflect the nature of the role as principally term-time-only. We offer a competitive salary and pension, as well as a range of benefits and a focus on staff well-being. More importantly, we offer the opportunity to play a part in highly rewarding work, as part of an ambitious and supportive team.

The Liberty Academy Trust is an education charity established in 2022. Our purpose is to deliver an education for our children that meets their needs, aspirations, and interests, and which prepares them well for adulthood. Our values of courage, determination and teamwork are the key drivers to bring about positive change, so that all our children and young people can be successful now and in their future lives.

We are currently a small Trust of three academies, with plans to grow so that our reach and impact can extend further. Committed to providing an excellent education for autistic children and young people, our approach is to support the whole child, offering a balance of personalised teaching and therapeutic support as standard.

We opened Church Lawton School in 2015 and provides a curriculum for students from across the spectrum who have a range of learning needs. This covers an age range from age 4 to age 19, building each child’s development week by week, term by term and year by year.
