Full or part time position available

We are looking for an enthusiastic, innovative Specialist Occupational Therapist who would like to develop their career, skills and knowledge in a specialist educational setting from Reception to 6th form. Experience of working with children and young people with a diagnosis of autism is essential for this role. Our priority is to recruit professionals with an outstanding skill set and exceptional interactional skills; we are looking for individuals who can ensure our young people achieve and exceed their potential. In return we offer a competitive salary and benefits package and excellent support and training.

You will work with a small but complex caseload, where intensive therapy with students is encouraged. Your working day will be diverse and will involve working with class groups, smaller groups and with individual students, whilst also providing a universal level of support across the settings. You will be involved in training and in the ongoing development of a needs-led model of service delivery across the federation. If you believe you can help our learners to fulfil their potential at school, at home and in their communities and are looking for a fresh challenge, then this role may be just what you are looking for. We offer supervision, frequent CPD, strong collaborative practice and peer support.

The Walnuts School is a special school which is committed to the highest quality integrated education, therapy and care. You will work collaboratively as part of a strong and supportive multi-disciplinary team of Teachers, Therapists and Teaching Assistants.
