We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and motivated Occupational Therapy Assistant to join our friendly and supportive Occupational Therapy team. Working within a committed and proactive multidisciplinary therapy team alongside education colleagues, you will assist the Therapy staff to support autistic children and young people to develop independence and achieve their potential.

You will need to demonstrate excellent organisational and communication skills and the ability to adapt and be creative in your approach to engaging young people.

Work with the students could include one-to-one, small group work and class-based group and individual work. The ideal candidate would be interested in Occupational Therapy as a career and must have excellent computer and ICT skills.
