We’re looking for an Occupational Therapist with demonstrable clinical and leadership skills to join our Wessex Lodge school (and associated children’s homes) clinical service. This is a fantastic opportunity to support the developing clinical service at the school and to work closely with the Clinical Locality Lead to develop the clinical provision in line with neurodiversity and intersectionality affirming therapeutic support. 

This is a varied role ideal for those looking for a new challenge where you can truly have an impact on shaping a service and driving transformational change.

About the role

We understand the value of helping our employees to achieve their Continued Professional Development goals, and offer a £2,000 training allowance to allow you to complete role specific training tailored to your individual requirements.

We are excited to be expanding our clinical service during a time of growth for the service.  We currently have an opportunity for an Occupational Therapist to join our Clinical Wellbeing team. The post holder will work collaboratively to deliver bespoke assessment and intervention plans for our pupils. This is an excellent opportunity to join the team as they expand their clinical provision, making a real difference and implementing a holistic, therapeutic approach.

You will be responsible for holding an Occupational Therapy caseload alongside other OT’s at Wessex Lodge School (and associated children’s homes) based in the South West. With the full support of our well-established and knowledgeable Clinical Team, you will also contribute to staff training, consultation, and reflective practice. Both a challenging and rewarding role, this position would suit a resilient and enthusiastic individual, with a therapeutic approach and the ability to make decisions, as well as manage their own workload.

Our well-established Clinical Team support a nurturing environment where our pupils can flourish, always putting them at the forefront of everything they do. All our settings maintain a strong safeguarding culture, and our pupils are heard, respected, and involved in decisions that affect them wherever possible.

When it comes to looking after our pupils, we strive for excellence, which is why we are the leading service provider in the UK. With this in mind, we are looking for an Occupational Therapist who shares our vision; to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable young people in the UK to be happy and to make their way in the world.
